 This was the boat that we cruised on. |
 Three hippos in the water with an elephant in the background. |
 A great white egret with a herd of buffalo. Egrets eat fish, frogs, rodents, and other small animals. |
 A pied kingfisher. Kingfishers have eyes that adjust instantly from daylight to underwater vision to catch fish, amphibians, and crustaceans. |
 The egret is such a beautiful bird! Its long neck can be folded in a tight S-shape, and their bills harpoon prey with speed and accuracy. |
 A hippo watching us. What was awesome is that as we cruised along, all of sudden a hippo would pop up out of the water, giving out a big sigh! It would scare you! Just how long can a hippo hold its breath? Better check on "Animal Facts." |
 Hippos are so cute in the water! But if you see a hippo butt -- ugly! |
 This African buffalo is watching these hippos. |
 The hippos were mostly in the water on this trip, with just their eyes, ears, and nostrils breaking the surface. Why do they have to stay in the water so much? Don't know? Better find out on "Animal Facts!" |
 This hippo was on the move. You really have to watch their back ends as they will spray you with urine and dung by waving their tails. Yuck. Why do they do this? Better learn on "Animal Facts." |
