Big Hippo Nose Splash

A gentle giant paddles close to the water’s edge, showing off a massive round snout speckled with wiggly lines and fuzzy hairs. Her ear twitches, and her wide eye looks out for a friend. Next to her, a younger hippo peeks from the water, just his head showing and one ear sticking up like a scoop of ice cream. Wavy lines swirl around their necks where the cool river hugs their skin.

Both hippos float, side by side, soaking up sun. Wrinkly skin catches the light and tiny ripples dance around them. The little one glances up at his mother’s enormous face, sticking close and safe in the shade of her round cheek.

Fun Fact!

Scientists think a hippo's "blood sweat" might also help protect it from germs because it has antibiotic properties.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use a soft gray for the big hippo and lighter gray for the little one.
  2. 2 Add blue swirls to the water for a cool river effect.
  3. 3 Mix brown spots on the ear hairs and nose for texture.
  4. 4 Shade around the wrinkles to make their skin look bumpy and real.
