Hippopotamus amphibius
The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae (the other is the pygmy hippopotamus)
Seen along the banks of the Kazinga Channel between Lake George and Lake Edward while on a boat tour.
The Kazinga Channel in Uganda is a wide, 32-kilometre long natural channel that connects Lake George, (which is to the east) and Lake Edward (which is to the west). This channel is among the most important features in Queen Elizabeth National Park (which is the most well-liked game reserve in Uganda covering an entire land area of 1,978 sq km). The channel has the wonderful view of the most important wildlife ventures within Queen Elizabeth National Park.

I haven't had to edit out a mission using chrome. I didn't know
thanks Karen, I managed to change it using Safari... Chrome won't do it! For a while there it was OK but now it's back to refusing to edit a mission.

Hahaha, thanks Joshua. It's not the first time I did that! It's right before my East African Biodiversity mission and I seem to click it every now and then by mistake!
I think you accidentally put this on the Birds of Ecuador mission. Cool spotting btw.
