Photo Of The Day – Speedy Hippo

Speedy Hippo

Title: Speedy Hippo

Location: Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania, Africa

Description: Hippos are amazingly fast animals, deceptively so. I had heard about this before heading to Africa in 2010, but once I witnessed just how fast they can run, and how mean they can be, I made sure my daughter and I were always close to, or in, a vehicle larger than a hippo when they were around. Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.
