They say you should never get between a hippo and the water. It makes them grumpy. 7D2, Sigma 150-600mm@150mm, F8, 1/320, ISO 1600, handheld. Thanks for any comments or suggestions, Dave

Sound advice that David. Hippos are highly successful killers of unwary people. Dramatic and powerful.

Make your life spectacular!

Hippos are extremely territorial and come out of the water to graze - you get between them and their 'safe place' the water, and they become a killing machine. They kill around 500 people a year, compared to Lions who kill around 20 to 24. An excellent capture of typical Hippo aggression, Dave!
