Can you help bring its world to life with your favorite colors? Imagine the hippo splashing gently, while birds and bugs flutter nearby. Maybe the puddle is warm from the sun, or maybe it’s a cool spot on a hot day. What other details can you add as you color?
FUN FACT
A hippo pod can have anywhere from 10 to 30 hippos, but sometimes even up to 100 hippos can be seen together!

COLORING TIPS
Use broad strokes for the hippo’s body and try blending light and dark grays for its textured skin. Add hints of pink or purple in the ears and around the nose. The puddle can be colored brown or blue for a lively effect. Don’t forget to add your own small animals, flowers, or even a warm sun in the background.
