Three Big Hippos Ready for Lunch

A trio of hippos stands shoulder to shoulder, their round bellies brushing together and gentle eyes peeking out. The biggest hippo steps forward, looking straight ahead with a wide snout and little tufts of whiskers dotting his chin. His wide nostrils and deep wrinkles give him a look that’s both serious and silly at once.

Behind him, two hippo friends squeeze in close, their ears poking out and faces brimming with quiet curiosity. The lines of their skin squiggle around their mouths, and each one has four sturdy toes stuck out in front. They huddle tight, as if sharing a funny secret just for the three of them.

Fun Fact!

Hippo calves drink their mother's milk for about 6 to 8 months, but they start nibbling grass when they are just a few weeks old.
