HIPOPOTAMO (Lago Tanganika)
After having lunch in a restaurant at the beach, the big boss of the project and I went for a walk actually next to the water. To our surprise there was a small crowd, looking to a couple of hyppopotamus. I could make a picture of the closer one.
Thanks to my new toy's zoom, I could make a close up ;-)
And onother close-up, almost face to face with the beast.
For this picture, I went actually very close (dangerously) to the waterside.
But then, all the crowd decided to go back. And the beast swam in the opposite direction
Yes! it came out in the shore
At the shore ... we all expected it was going to actually get out of the water, but ...
It was only to make the toilet in front of the crowd ...
Anyway, a unique experience

Of course, David, if I go swimming, it will be in a swimming pool ;-) I would not even think of coming close to the lake to take a bath.
Yes Jonathan, the beast wasn't the politest one!
