The Big Yawn of Mr. Hippo

Mr. Hippo stretches his jaw as wide as it will go, showing off those chunky teeth and gigantic mouth. His eyes peek out from the side of his round head, looking peaceful and just a bit sleepy. Wrinkles run down his hefty neck and back, giving him lots of places for shadows and shades.

Sunlight touches the top of his nose, dusting his snout in soft freckles. His little round ears stick out from the side, while giant curved teeth reach toward the sky from his lower jaw. The whole scene almost feels like he is about to sing a silly song—maybe right after his nap.

Fun Fact!

Pygmy hippos are more active at night and spend their days resting in dense forests or swamps.
