I previously posted a photo from this water-level encounter with a hippo. Here’s 19 seconds of dramatic video of the hippo surfacing and submerging, while another hippo looks on from nearby bushes. Nikon Z8, 4K at 120 frames per second.

A photographer observing one hippo glimpsing another. hippo. Nice, Sean!
Ha, yes, it was a great little corner of the Masai Mara, just outside the camp we were staying at.
👍😃
And were you under the surface with both hippos? Isn’t that dangerous? Just a concerned mother here!
I’ll have to demonstrate my technique using a monopod and dangling it outside the vehicle.
THE tension in the water mounts, as the wary photographer & beast size each other up from the swampy shallows… ominous…. Great movie trailer, Sean!
Thanks Laura, I was channeling the drama with this one.
