Hunting for Hippo


Everyone was waiting so patiently to look at the hippo. Meanwhile, the hippo was looking at me!

It's really fascinating watching the hippos gallup underwater. How something that big can be so graceful underwater boggles the mind. They're probably pretty buoyant underwater, having just the right density to get traction on the bottom and still be able to effortlessly glide through the water. Perhaps they can even regulate their buoyancy like fish do? I'll leave that last one to someone more versed in hippo trivia.
