Hippopotamus amphibius – “river horse”
This great shot of a hippo showing off his incisors was taken by Stephen Raffay, a professional photographer who is currently on safari in the Kruger National Park area care of africansafaris.com. Contrary to popular belief, this old guy is not yawning or opening up wide for the dentist…! This is a typical display of aggression towards younger bull hippos.
Stephen visited Mala Mala Game Reserve and Tinga Safari Lodge. If you would like to see more of Stephen’s wildlife photography or order prints, here is his website raffayphoto
