Swirly Hippo by the Water’s Edge

A proud hippopotamus sits right at the edge of a peaceful puddle, showing off his round nose and friendly eyes. His wide face looks curious, with big, round nostrils and perked-up ears that are always listening for a splash or a giggle. The hippo’s body is covered with lots of bold, swirling lines and sharp diamond shapes, almost like he’s wearing a fancy costume just for today.

There’s something fun about his sturdy legs and wide feet, each decorated with curved stripes and little teardrop patterns. Behind him, patterns twist and turn across his back and belly, turning simple shapes into a big, cheerful puzzle. Every swirl and zigzag invites a new color, ready for someone’s brightest crayons to help this hippo shine.

Fun Fact!

Sometimes, large groups of hippos can cause changes in river channels and banks due to their movement and grazing.
