Sunny Day on the Hippo Plain

A round-bellied hippo stands at the edge of a wiggly stream, gazing with big eyes and twitchy ears. Tall grass pokes up all around her feet, and her wrinkly skin stretches wide under the warm, open sky. She looks calm, almost like she might yawn and splash in the water any minute.

Just behind the hippo, a bold zebra stands with neatly striped legs and perked-up ears. A gentle giraffe stretches her long neck near the trees, munching on leaves. Big puffy clouds drift above the savanna, while sturdy acacia trees dot the hills in the distance.

Fun Fact!

In the wild, hippos usually live for about 40 to 50 years.
