Hippo on the Go!

A big hippopotamus charges across the page, nubby ears flapping and nostrils wide. His mouth stretches open with a giant roar, showing off his wide teeth and spotted snout. Thick legs stomp the ground, making lines burst and swirl in every direction. He looks serious about his speedy run, ready to splash through any mud puddle he finds.

You can see strong folds in his skin and round toes pushing hard as he runs. Speed lines zip behind him, making everything feel wild and busy. His short tail pokes straight out, and tiny bumps cover his nose. This hippo bursts with action—bring him to life with bold colors and lots of imagination!

Fun Fact!

Protecting hippo habitats and stopping poaching are crucial for ensuring these magnificent "river horses" survive for future generations.
