 Hippos on the move. We were too close to them. Don't they have ugly butts? |
 African Fish Eagles. An estimated 100 pairs live along this channel. Known as "the voice of Africa," they make very distinctive and recognizable sounds. |
 A herd of buffalo with a hippo checking them out. Buffalo have a keen sense of smell. These buffalo don't seem very concerned. |
 Male hippos advertise their dominance with loud and repeated wheezy honks. It's very funny to hear! |
 A Nile crocodile. Crocs can be seen sunning with their mouths open. Why? Do you know how to tell the difference between a crocodile and an alligator? Better check "Animal Facts." |
 African Fish Eagle. They are a very close relative to the North American bald eagle. They are so effective at fishing, that they spend up to 90% of their day resting! |
 Did I tell you there was some bird life here or what?! |
 The tall bird among all the ducks and geese is a saddle-billed stork. |
 During the whole cruise, another photographer and I were trying to capture a hippo yawning. Finally just at the end, we got our photo! You have to really fast -- as it happens in seconds -- and as a result, my photo is blurry. Bummer! Do you know why hippos yawn? Better check "Animal Facts." |
 As we were cruising back to the lodge, all of a sudden an elephant comes running out of the forest charging us from the shore! He was so loud trumpeting at us -- it kind of scared you! But then we were in awe. |
