Two Hippos Have a Big Mouth Contest

Two hefty hippos sit chest-deep in a wiggly river, facing each other with their mouths flung wide open. Their huge noses wrinkle up, and you can see all their lumpy teeth showing off as if they’re trying to see whose yawn is bigger. Ripples circle their chunky bodies as they lean forward, making wavy patterns in the water. Both hippos look full of energy, with round, watchful eyes and thick legs ready to flop or splash any second.

One hippo holds its head a little higher, stretching its neck so far back you can almost hear a funny hippo giggle rumbling from inside. The other tips his jaw just as wide, trying his best to keep up. Their big bellies press into the gentle water, and the bold black outlines show every roll and curve. The whole scene bubbles with hippo silliness in the warm, sunny river.

Fun Fact!

A hippo's skin secretes a special oily red substance that looks like blood, but it's not! This is often called "blood sweat."
