    That is what I call spectacular! Something I should like to see. We have relatives in South Africa, so we might try and see them....

    We still can see the heads of the hippos wading through the lake. How large they are! Thank you for this great shot, joyful. Stay cool and have happy days ahead.

    Those Hippos are usually very shy that way. ☺

    Thank you everyone for your visits and lovely comments. I simply loved to see wildlife out in the wild, as God created it.

    Shanda, I do love the sounds of hippos.

    Hahahaha! I can see why you were laughing. Peeping eyes and peeping squirrels. These hippos are are so cute like that. But I know they are really dangerous creatures. But I like their peeping! LOL

    Those eyes are a bit scary. I think it would be a bad idea to swim with them.

    Heidi, I think you're right. Better to stay out of the water when the hippos and crocodiles are in it!
