I don't much like them. I know that it is quite strange to show emotional feelings like 'like' and 'hate' when it comes to animals but the texture of its skin puts me off. I shouldn't be doing that, I know.<br /><br />Lovely photos, Jim and your experience is something quite rich and lovely.<br /><br />Joy always,<br />susanS.

You won't regret it.<br /><br />Manonthelam, don't try kissing those hippos! Big teeth and blubbery lips!<br /><br />Hi Cathy, it's a weird feeling in the dark and knowing that what's out there could be coming at you. They are huge but they move silently, you just hear them munching, but when that noise stops, is when yo start worrying.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-51638140666466202012011-08-04T11:56:42.425-07:002011-08-04T11:56:42.425-07:00Super sunrise pic!

You will not believe the colours on the water that evening. Make sure you drop back in.<br /><br />Hi Muza-chan , yes absolutely gorgeous sunrise!<br /><br />Yes Mike, if they wanted a meal they'd just jump up there! Got a crazy story about lions coming up.
