:D I have finally got a shot of two Hippos with their mouths open at the same time, usually the one in front partly obscurers the other one.:clap

    That is just about the only hippo photo I have ever liked.

    I just can't look at it too long.

    Cool,

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    That's pretty scary
    Talk about a "danger" shot -- too late, :):

    Were you at a zoo?

    What clean mouths they have! Very nice, after spending some time in Africa, I gained a new appreciation for Hippos. Zoos really don't do them justice.

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Generally the reason they attack people is due to people being in their territory. I was very pleased after getting this shot.
