Happy Hippo by the Riverbank
Meet a gentle hippopotamus enjoying a peaceful day beside the river in the African savanna. Nearby, a curious zebra watches and a tall giraffe nibbles on tree leaves. Far in the background, more animals wander between the acacia trees. Imagine the warm sun, soft grass, and cool water as you bring this busy scene to life with your favorite colors.
FUN FACT
When a hippo goes completely underwater, its nostrils and ears automatically close to keep water out.

COLORING TIPS
Try using different greens for the grass and trees to create depth. Experiment with gentle blue and light browns for the riverbank. You can layer blues and purples on the hippo for a realistic or playful touch. Add pale yellow for sunlight and let each animal have its own unique color variations.
