Hippopotamuses in water
Hippopotamuses (or hippos, Hippopotamus amphibius) in water. Hippos are large water-loving herbivores that live in and around rivers throughout southern and eastern Africa. They spend the majority of the day resting in water and grazing on water plants. At night, they may leave the water to eat fruits and sugarcane. Hippos usually live in groups of around 15 individuals, though larger groups have been seen. Photographed at Luangwa Falls, North Luangwa National Park, Zambia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment in the lives of hippopotamuses, also known as hippos (Hippopotamus amphibius), as they gracefully navigate through the water. These magnificent creatures are native to southern and eastern Africa, where they can be found dwelling in and around rivers. With their massive size and herbivorous diet, hippos spend most of their day submerged in water, finding solace and sustenance among aquatic plants. The photograph was taken at Luangwa Falls within North Luangwa National Park in Zambia, showcasing the natural beauty of this African landscape. The image showcases a group of approximately 15 hippos peacefully coexisting together. Although smaller groups are more common, larger gatherings like this have been observed. These impressive mammals possess an intriguing lifestyle that revolves around water. During daylight hours, they rest lazily while grazing on water plants before venturing out at night to indulge in fruits and sugarcane from nearby areas. Their distinctive heads emerge above the surface with an air of tranquility amidst the flowing river currents. This stunning portrayal allows us to appreciate not only the unique characteristics of these herbivores but also highlights the importance of preserving their habitat for future generations to witness such remarkable scenes firsthand. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders with precision and artistry through this mesmerizing photograph.
