Hippo's at Orpen Dam 2012

Hippo's at Orpen dam 2012. The extra photo shows a hippo at the same dam in 2008 when it was dry and the dam filled with algae. Fortunately a good effect of the January 0012 floods was that the algae was washed away! One can also see the driftwood left after the January floods.

good comparison shots; noticed all the birds on the hippo, probably enjoying bugs, hehe!
