Mammals Hippo in bw

[MikeZ]

Great shots, and the Chobe River is just full of hippos. I love the captured action of the second image - it looks like the hippo is charging the boat. We had that happen a few times, though the hippos never got close enough to do any damage. BTW, was the river full in September? In March the flood plain was enormous and we were even able to take the Chobe down to the Zambezi.

Hi ACEkin,
It is worth watching them in real life. Very impressive animals.

A friend from South Africa told me a story about how hippos chased them up the trees. I understand they are also unexpectedly fast runners. I have no idea why but I really like these animals, kind of platonic love!

There was enough water in September but of course not as much as in March.
