Hippos and Snakes






 

 

 

 

 

At first, I did not know the Hippo was the rock. It came up for air and went down a few times. Then it walked about 5 meters with the bird on its' back. Birds stay near the rear end, hoping to catch fish, who come close to feed on the Hippo droppings. The Hippo walked into a hole, soon only its head was above water The bird walked along the back to the head.
This was fun to watch



Black Mamba snake skin above my door. The skin of the head was hanging near the door, and the tail near the corner of the house.
Hannelore, my next door neighbor is holding the skin.

PS There is some discussion between the locals, some say it was a Black Mamba, others say a Spitting Cobra.
