Muddy Splash with Mister Hippo

A cheery hippo pokes his big round head above the water, wide eyes twinkling as bubbles and splashes dance around his face. His ears stick up high while spots dot his soft cheeks, making him look surprised and giggly at the same time. Gentle ripples swirl around him and big puddles float close by, as if he just popped up from a hidden nap underwater.

Grass peeks up at the corners, framing this muddy pond where the hippo loves to play. Wisps of water drift near his nose and cheeks, and every splash seems frozen like a tiny giggle. The wide smile on this friendly hippo invites little hands to bring the scene to life, splash by splash.

Fun Fact!

It's a myth that hippos can swallow a human whole; while their gape is huge, their throat isn't that wide.
