Oh Big Mouth… a mother and young…

What would you expect from a hippo who has nothing else to do all day but rest ?? Yes… yawn…

Actually she is telling everyone the news .. “I’ve a youngster… come to close and I’m going to bite you…” it is a warning sign….

mother has to help her youngster keep its head above water ‘till it learns to swim…

That little one is so small if she opens her mouth it could get in… these are not small animals and never get between it and the water or too close in a canoe… some have been buried for making that mistake…
