  • Delta Hippos

    There were a lot of hippos in the delta.

    They did not like our boats and tried to scare us off.

    image

    This made big splashes.

    image

    There were a lot of hippos near our campsite.

    image

    They also yawned a lot.

    image

    Their teeth didn’t seem as big as the ones in Uganda.

    image

    The baby hippos yawn too but it’s not as impressive as the big ones.

    image

    The big ones are more terrifying. But apparently not to other hippos.

    image

    Sometimes they wave their heads around as they yawn.image

    And sometimes they jump right up.

    image

    They look particularly funny with their backs to you.

    image

    Sometimes they stick their tongues out at you.

    image

    Sometimes they land on other hippos and have to fall to the side.
