Hippo Family by the Watering Hole

A big, round hippopotamus stands right up close, his wide nose pointed toward you and his ears perked high, almost as if he is saying hello. Next to him, a smaller hippo stomps through tall grass, his little legs ready for a wild splash in the water. The hippos look peaceful, surrounded by swaying grass and leafy trees. Soft hills and puffy clouds rest in the background, while another hippopotamus wades quietly in the shallow, wiggly river.

Fun Fact!

A Pygmy hippo's skin also produces an oily secretion, but it's less reddish than the common hippo's.
