Happy Hippo and Friends at the Waterhole
A cheerful hippopotamus enjoys a cool splash while nearby, three thirsty zebras and a curious giraffe gather at the water’s edge. The savanna stretches out behind them, dotted with acacia trees and gentle hills, making it a perfect afternoon for animal pals to meet. Imagine what colors might make their world even brighter as you bring this lively watering hole to life with your imagination.
FUN FACT
This oily red "blood sweat" from a hippo acts like a natural sunscreen, protecting its skin from sunburn, and also helps keep the hippo's skin moist.

COLORING TIPS
Try giving each animal a unique look by using different shades for their patterns and spots. For the water, blend light and darker blues with gentle strokes. You can use soft green and yellow for the grass, and experiment with pink or purple skies for a magical touch. Adding a splash of color to the clouds can make the scene even more playful.
