This is wonderful! Finally you have posted something I have seen with my own eyes. An excellent shot of hippos doing what hippos do.

Hello James,
What a neat capture of this little guy hitching a ride. I never knew they displayed this type of behavior, but then we don't have any hippo in our part of Ohio to observe..HA.HA.
You did a great job controlling the exposure on this extremely bright sunny day. Wonderful detail with very natural coloration!! Well done!! Informative notes!

Hello James,
A fine and unusual capture!
This young hippo is quite raised out of the water while hitching a ride on his mother. Her raised orbital is well seen and both are taken with excellent sharpness and colours.
Thanks and have a good weekend,

Hi James,
You chose a good example for frightening TrekNature members. Lots of tourist ignore the warnings in lodges and get bitten into halves.
I actually had a funny story from Ferran, how he was relaxing in the pool, heard a big splash, and ran as fast as he could from the Hippo, which had joined him. See my my "Killer" photo link

Have not heard before about Hippos transporting their young ones... never too late to learn :-))
Cannot add any compliments not yet said by other members, except it is an outstanding documentary, thanks.
Have a nice evening where-ever you are, when you read this,
good wishes

Hi James,
very special capture of these special animals. The clarity is wonderful and the moment is well shown here. The effect of shallow depth of field adds dramatic to the scenery.
Special moment well shared.
regards,

Hello James
fantastic capture of famous Hippopotamus from Benin. A young hippopotam gave a great pose from its mothers back to you. wonderful scene and composition. greatly focused and noted good information. I also like derivatio nominis (etymology). you already mentioned. potamus came from "river", e.g. Mesopotamia (ancient region between Tigris and Euphrates rivers).
thanks a lot. I will wait your new posts from new Africa travel. best wishes and have a nice new week
