Rhinoceros Strolls by the Muddy Riverbank
Deep in the grassy savanna, a strong rhinoceros slowly steps beside a quiet river. Today, the mud feels cool under its heavy feet as it searches for some fresh grass to munch. The gentle giant pauses, taking in the calm day, while little birds flutter nearby, hoping to spot some insects. What colors do you think the sky and water should be? Imagine the rhinoceros in your favorite shades and fill the scene with your own wild landscape ideas.
FUN FACT
A Sumatran rhino is also the hairiest rhino and is more closely related to the ancient woolly rhinoceros than any other rhino alive today!

COLORING TIPS
Try blending light and dark grays for the rhinoceros’s skin to show the texture and folds. Shade the mud with browns, add hints of green or yellow to the grass, and use blues for the river. To make the background lively, try using different colors for small plants and the sky. Don’t forget to color the patches to make the rhino look extra lively!
