I was in South Africa for the second time to photograph Leopards. As we were driving around looking for Leopards (often found up a tree with an gazelle or impala in it's teeth), we passed a watering hole. As I am always looking for birds in my down time between Leopards and more Leopards, i looked around the edges of the watering hole for birds.

Then i realized... the watering hole was looking back at me. This watering hole belongs to a Hippo.

So we sat for a while, trying to capture great photographs of a Hippo. But often times Hippo can be difficult to photograph nicely, because they are brown and living in brown water... challenging.

Finally he got sick of us and let out a prehistoric roar and that allowed me to capture some great shots.

Then we obliged him and we left.
