A hippo emerges from the water in its Timbavati waterhole, spraying droplets all around. I really love hippos - they have many characters and are exciting to photograph. In all I spent about 20 hours with this guy. He was one of the last ones left in the area as the surrounding waterholes dried up, while the region waited on late rains.
