Hippo with Swirly Leaf Patterns

A big, friendly hippopotamus stands right in the center of the page, looking out with gentle eyes and a snout covered in cheerful freckles. Every inch of her round body bursts with swirling lines, leafy shapes, and zigzag bands, almost as if she’s dressed up for a wild jungle parade. Her chubby legs, chunky nose, and floppy little ears peek out among all the snazzy designs, inviting small hands to bring her to life with bright colors.

Leaves curl across her back and tummy, and curvy patterns twirl over her arms and face. No background distracts from the star of the show — this hippo loves being the center of attention! She looks ready to stomp through some tall grass or splash her toes in cool water.
