The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius, from the Greek ἱπποπόταμος (hippopotamos, ιππος hippos meaning "horse" and πόταμος potamos meaning "river"), often shortened to "hippo", is a large, mostly plant-eating African mammal, one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae (the other being the Pygmy Hippopotamus).

Thanks for looking...

Hi Annick,

A very unusual shot of this hippo swimming. I love the head right on the surface of the water. The eye is amazing! Lighting is wonderful and in just the right place.

Really original photo of this Hippo.
We can see those big nostrils in action just like a crocodile :-)
Very good quality.
Great composition.

Well done, Annick!
