hehehe... that's how it goes. We once had an elephant get... well... not too happy at us because my mother accidentally left her flash on in the settings of her little point and shoot and the herd was completely surrounding our vehicle. Everybody ducked down except myself. I just held down the shutter and tried to capture the moment

Awsome photo!

I've always been scared of hippos. One time in Malawi my dads hat blew out of the water and a hippo came up wearing one haha

Thank you!

lol ya, i always get somewhat nervous when we're around them... especially when you see an angry one dive down, and a wave quickly starts to move towards your boat. hate that.
