Camera Critters

Photobucket

Mr. Munro took this photo at the Auckland zoo. When we visited Africa we saw quite a few hippos. We stayed at one camping ground by a waterhole where they came out at night and grazed by our tents. The hippo is considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, and the worst thing you can do is to get between a hippo and water or a hippo and its offspring.

    Great photo! I know they are dangerous but they don’t LOOK dangerous. I think they’re cute, especially the pygmy hippos.

    Cynthya – I agree that they don’t look dangerous. Despite their size, they can move REALLY fast though!

    Jaime – They do have the cuteness factor, don’t they?

    I’ve always loved hippos. I like it when they come up out of the water and wiggle their ears, I think it’s cute.
