This hippo was lurking in the bushes just outside our camp. There was another nearby hippo in a small pool that this one was likely keeping a close eye on. Photographed in the Masai Mara of Kenya.Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 3600, f/5.6 at 1/1600th of a second.
What an awesome experience, Sean! I’m sure you were a reasonably safe distance from the hippo, but that image makes it look as though the hippo had its eye on you!
