Hippopotamus

Hippopotamus amphibius

Description:

Hippos staying cool in the Tanzanian heat.

Habitat:

Serengeti

Notes:

Birds-eye view! We saw lots of hippos grazing during our pre-dawn drive to pick up the balloon. It was incredibly to see these huge animals up close out of the water but unfortunately it was too dark for photos.
