Hippopotamus

Description:

one of my favorites. African turtle(unknown species) hitching a ride on a Hippo

Habitat:

The hippopotamus is semiaquatic, inhabiting rivers, lakes and mangrove swamps, where territorial bulls preside over a stretch of river and groups of five to 30 females and young. During the day, they remain cool by staying in the water or mud; reproduction and childbirth both occur in water. They emerge at dusk to graze on grasses. While hippopotamuses rest near each other in the water, grazing is a solitary activity and hippos are not territorial on land

Notes:

This was taken in Botswana. I have posted a Hippo, but wanted to share this image.
