This image depicts two hippopotamuses (Hippopotamus amphibius) in a water enclosure, likely within the Shenzhen Safari Park in Nanshan District, China. The scene focuses on an artificial pool filled with murky, greenish-yellow water, exhibiting visible ripples. In the upper portion of the frame, a lighter brown hippopotamus is partially submerged, its head elevated, with its mouth wide open in a yawn or display. This action exposes prominent tusks and molars within its pink oral cavity. The water around this animal is distinctly yellowish-green. In the lower foreground, a darker brown hippopotamus is also partially submerged, its head and upper back visible. This animal rests near a dark metal grid barrier, which extends horizontally across the frame. Its snout appears to be close to or resting against this barrier. A faded, rectangular metal sign with illegible Chinese characters and a red circular "no" symbol is attached to the barrier, partially obscured by out-of-focus green foliage in the extreme lower foreground. The overall environment suggests an animal exhibit designed for public viewing. No human subjects are visible.
