Hi Harshad.

I take it from your photo that the way to shoot hippos is very carefully, and from a great distance!

[Ken Watkins]

From my experience certainly do not get close in a boat, even if it does give you an even better POV.

Certainly do not get close on foot unless the vehicle is nearby, they can run as fast if not faster than Usain Bolt:eek::eek:

Who is he :eek:

[Norm Dulak]

Who is he :eek:

Usain Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter and a three-time World and Olympic gold medalist. He is the world record and Olympic record holder in the 100 metres, the 200 metres and (along with his teammates) the 4 x 100 metres relay. He is the reigning World and Olympic champion in these three events.

But he is not mean spirited like the hippo!

This is what most IMPORTANT is
