yes, they were. they came out from the water and you could see the stretch on their jaw formed and then they slowly closed their eyes. they must be having a good life there. Reply
hi fiona, thank you for the return visit. it’s in a safari and the hippos were only 20m from our vehicle. a zoom lens also helped a bit. 🙂 Reply
