Hippopotamus amphibius
Huge rotund body on stubby legs. Ears, nostrils and protuberant eyes placed high on head. (Perhaps not a good CV for a beauty contest)
Bank of smallish river adjacent to a camp.

Thank you :-)
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
