Hippo Talks About Life in the River
Hello humans
I am a hippopotamus and yes I know I look grumpy. That is because the sun is always burning my back and someone is always staring at me like I am a floating rock. Would you smile all day in this heat I do not think so. I spend most of my time in the water because it keeps me calm. Or at least calmer.

I live in African rivers and lakes where the water is warm and muddy. I like quiet places but rivers are never truly quiet. Birds scream monkeys jump around and crocodiles act like they own the whole place. Honestly sometimes I just want one peaceful afternoon.

People always assume I eat meat. No. I eat grass. Lots of it. I walk out at night take a slow angry looking stroll and eat in silence. It works for me.

Hippo calves are adorable even I cannot deny it. They stay close to their mothers because the river can be chaotic. If anything even looks at my baby the wrong way I get irritated very fast.

My message to humans: Listen humans. If you want nature to stay beautiful keep our rivers clean. Stop throwing trash into the water. If you search for real peace you will find it only when you respect the places we live in. Treat nature kindly and maybe I will finally relax a little.

Thank you letting me speak. I hope humans finally understand me a little better.
