Happy Hippo Makes a Splash

A plump hippo tumbles back into the cool water, cheeks round and eyes sparkling with joy. She flaps her chubby arms and waves one big paw in the air, ready for a giggle and a splash. Tiny ripples circle around her round belly, showing just how much she loves this water play.

Her broad mouth stretches into a big, sunny grin. Her short ears poke up, listening for someone to join in the fun. The water wiggles with lines and curves, swirling around as she moves her feet and blows happy bubbles. Every inch of this friendly hippo looks bouncy and full of life.
