Sleepy Hippo by the Shady Pond
In the soft morning light, a gentle hippopotamus snoozes peacefully beside a quiet pond. Nearby, a few curious dragonflies hover over the water, while tufts of grass sway in the breeze. Imagine what the hippo might be dreaming about as you add your favorite colors to this calm and cozy scene. Will you create a sunny afternoon or a dreamy evening under the stars?
FUN FACT
The closest living relatives of hippos are actually whales and dolphins, which might seem surprising!
