This monochrome portrait captures the hippopotamus in its semi-aquatic environment, emphasizing the massive anatomical adaptations that enable this megafauna to thrive in African waterways. The composition isolates the animal's distinctive head structure—broad nostrils, prominent canines, and thick dermis—while water droplets convey the constant movement between terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
