AKA the Hippopotamus. That's right. Hippos are disgusting. Before this trip I thought they were such cute pudgy animals, but I was decieved and oh so naive. in Swahili they are called Kiboko. I bet that word is also used for awful stench.
We saw a lot of hippos on this trip! In fact there were some that were right by our camp:
See that bend in the river? That was their hangout spot. So while we were relaxing and eating they were out there soaking in the water and making disgusting noises. It was actually kind of funny.
Here is a closeup of our hippo friends... all they do is sit there... in the nasty muck all day. At night they come out to get some food.
Look at those monstrous teeth!
We actually got to see a hippo run, haha. it was pretty funny. They can run pretty fast for being so large!
Come back next week for more Africa pics!
