Happy to include a sketch studies of the Hippo this year, an animal I've always wanted to draw more of.
Like with all animal days we celebrate, today is a great day to read and share info about Hippos!

The hippopotamus is native to Africa. They are nicknamed the river horse due to being a semiaquatic mammal, spending most of their day in rivers & lakes. They feed mostly on land at night. 🧵 1/4

Let's talk about hippopotamuses:
@earthdotcom.bsky.social: "Hippos face significant threats due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change."
World Hippo Day reminds us of their importance in the ecosystem and the need for their protection.

🦛 Hippos secrete a natural "sunscreen" that turns pink, often mistaken for blood!
🦛 They can't swim—instead, they bounce and can hold their breath underwater for up to 5 minutes!
🦛 They can run up to 30 km/h
