Photo by @beverlyjoubert | There's about a ton and a half of aggressive hippo on those small ankles, but he can move remarkably quickly. He's deeply scarred by territorial fights and the oxpecker birds are swooping to feast on blood from the wounds. One of the most aggressively territorial animals around, hippos are deeply possessive of their pools and have been known to charge even the most innocuous animals - like impalas. The Okavango waters have just started to recede and he will be extra sure to protect what he sees as his. Here, a herd of buffalo have ventured too close and the enraged hippo is voicing his displeasure at the entire herd. Buffalo too are not known for their gentle nature and are quick to attack any perceived threat, however even though they greatly outnumber the hippo, they appear to be listening and keeping their distance - to a point. #DubaPlains #Hippo #territorialdisplay #Okavango #buffalo #hippovsbuffalo #Botswana
