I’m doing a group presentation tomorrow on long-term memory, and I thought it might be fun to include a picture of a hippo camping (instead of the hippocampus). Searches with various criteria on both Google and Bing have turned up nothing. Would anyone be able to locate an image of a hippopotamus at a campsite? A real picture would be preferable but an illustration would do in a pinch. Thanks in advance! ---

OK. I will bite. Unfortunately the only pictures of hippos in campsites seem to be copyrighted. You may have to draw on white paper with crayons. I know that was no help, and I am sure you have seen what I have seen. Perhaps someone here has a pet hippo that they took camping. > **[hippo campsite - Bing](https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=hippo%2Bcampsite&view=detailv2&&id=22676F96632B4534FFEF606BA55E6DDFE3BC9849&selectedIndex=2&ccid=YGbJXUlE&simid=608017814863413879&thid=OIP.M6066c95d4944c9011bcbb30f2861c707o0&ajaxhist=0)** > > Intelligent search from Bing makes it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for and rewards you. ---

Alternate suggestion - Mock something up yourself - there are plenty of pix of cartoon hippos, combine it with a cartoon campsite pix… ---

By the way, never get a hippo drunk and have him drive you to camp Number one: They don’t have a drivers license Number two: They want to stop and argue with other hippos Number three: When they pass out in your tent, there is no room for anybody else No help at all for the OP’s request, but couldn’t resist. \<\<\< We now return you to Hippo Camping Pictures ---

I probably did the same search words as you did. Such an unusual subject. Perhaps National Geographic? Nah. Might be fruitless there. It seems 99.99% are just nature photos. Hopefully someone else could chime in here and help. ---

The part of the brain chiefly responsible for long-term memory is the hippocampus. At the end of the presentation, we’re doing a little memory game to see how well the students retained certain details of the slides. One of the game slides shows four images, and asks, “Which image did we use to show the hippocampus?” Three of them are brains, and one is a picture of hippos camping. 😃 ---

Another punny option would be hippos at a university. ---
