Description
I took this image of the mom and baby hippo in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Unfortunately I had a bit of a back light problem but I don't think it came out too bad. They are usually submerged in water and all you can normally see are their eyes. This pair had a walkabout and gave me this great opportunity. Hippo's are extremely dangerous and more people in Africa are killed yearly by hippo's than by the Big 5 combined.
Thank you for visiting my gallery and for any comments posted.
Hugs, Carin xx
