The scene is an outdoor zoo enclosure where two hippopotamuses lie partially submerged in a shallow, algae-covered pool. They are positioned with their rears facing the camera. Adjacent to the pool, a low, light-yellow building with windows stands, with a green stripe near the bottom, and a taller, ornamental structure with a multi-tiered roof is on its side. To the right of the structures, black fencing marks the enclosure's boundary. The ground is concrete. Trees and greenery are visible in the background. The day is overcast.
