Big Hippo vs the Feather Balance

A round-bellied hippopotamus sits carefully on one side of a wobbly scale, his wide eyes peeking out with a look of surprise. His toes grip the edge of the dish, and one tiny ear tilts to the side as he notices something funny: on the other end of the scale, just a single feather rests.

The scales tip dramatically, the hippo’s side dipping way down while the feather side floats high. Every curve and wrinkle on his face shows he can't believe the difference. With all the open space around him, you can play with lots of colors and fill the scene with your brightest ideas.

Fun Fact!

Hippos have a wide, muscular mouth that is perfect for grabbing and tearing up large amounts of grass.
