thanks Bhagya Herath, they were awesome, and surprisingly they grunt like pigs!
awesome......
Haha Neil, and so BIG! I had a tent 20 meters from the Nile River in Murchison Falls, with a bit of grass in front, and in the night I would hear them grunting, then spashing into the river. Think they were eating the grass.
The business end! Great series, Pam. Hippo's are so impressive.
