Happy Hippo Stands in a Sunny Puddle

A squishy-footed hippo beams in the soft mud, each round toe peeking out over the edge of the puddle. His bright eyes shine with curiosity, and a wide smile stretches across his plump cheeks. Fluffy clouds drift above his big round ears, while tufts of grass poke up from beside his little muddy pool.

The hippo's tail curls in a playful loop behind him, and his wide nostrils twitch as if he smells something wonderful in the breeze. Both clouds float lightly in the sky, giving the scene a calm, cheerful feeling. He looks right out at you, ready for splashes, silly colors, and a busy, beautiful day.

Fun Fact!

A mother hippo is pregnant for about 8 months before her calf is born.
