REQ: Hippocampus or Hippo

Hi!
I was just wondering if anyone out there had a decent picture of a hippocampus
and/or a hippopotamus. The hippocampus would be preferable. This is for the
welcome screen of a moo I run. My own (feeble) attempt is below:
.-/|_.

| | '`-;._.;_; _.;

:' _``;----'.-'
`' `:.,,;.~`,
`;'`\
apw `--'
I think the aspect ratio is somewhat out (my monitor had the wrong ratio set
at the time), and I'm not exactly happy with it (the picture that is - the
monitor works fine :). Something of comparable size would be nice if at all
possible. (btw, for those of you who don't know, a hippocampus, apart from
being a part of the brain, is like a "mer-horse" if you will - a horse with a
fish's tail).
Could you also please email me as I haven't been actively reading this group
for some time.
Thanks,
Andrew.
