    Ken,
    Superb sighting. I guess there were three hyenas fighting to devour the hippo from the only cut in its skin. Or are there more than three? The show of teeth makes the intentions very clear. If the eye of one of those would have been visible, then it would have been better. Nice action image nevertheless. It seems you had a phenomenal trip. Look forward to more.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    Wow. Didn't even notice that third one in the middle. The flashes of teeth and roiling water makes it seem they're exploding up from underwater.

    I have to agree with Dale and the others, great action but a bit hard to decern what is going on.

    Thanks for your kind comments, this was a very short piece of action. You really need the sound, luckily my wife caught it on video.
