Fun Fact!
Hippos play an important role in their ecosystems by grazing, which keeps grasses short, and by creating pathways in swamps.

Coloring Tips
- 1 Use two blues for the wavy water: light for sunshine and darker for deep spots.
- 2 Try a gray or purple crayon to shade the hippo’s head and nose.
- 3 Color the hippo’s ears pink inside for a playful touch.
- 4 Add bright green or yellow dots for hidden plants and frogs along the water’s edge.
