Hippo Selfie Variations in Camera Roll
Text content
When you scroll through your camera roll and find variations on a selfie
Overview
This relatable meme uses a collage of multiple photos of a real pygmy hippopotamus resting on a concrete ledge in a zoo enclosure, facing directly towards the camera. The joke compares the hippo's slightly different poses and expressions across the photos to the common experience of scrolling through your phone's camera roll and finding multiple slightly different variations of the same selfie you took. The large main image shows the hippo's neutral pose, while three smaller images on the right show alternate variations with different angles and expressions (including one with the hippo sticking its tongue out), mirroring how people take multiple selfies to get the perfect shot and keep the unused variations saved.
