Evening Hippopotamuses

Our campsite tonight was being surrounded by hippos. They were far away when we got there but walked closer as night fell.

As a side note these plants that look like they are from Dr. Seuss are papyrus reeds.

Back to the hippos. They are much more active in the evening.

As it got dark they got tired and started yawning.

Which is kind of scary.

Lots and lots of yawning.

Okay maybe it was more a sign of strength as this is a bit excessive to be called a yawn.
