lake Manyara nat’l park lies next door to Arusha, very convenient for a day trip
the lake is salted but some fresh water feeds it so regular animals can thrive at the delta, like hippos, pelicans on these pictures. But the most common animals live in the park too.
hippos are not only obnoxious, they’re also unpredictable. Notice the fresh scar above.
all of a sudden, there is a bit of movement, something has disturbed one of these monsters…
and they fight at each other, more than 2 opponents sometimes. It last for a few seconds, we don’t even know if there is a clear winner…
and all the fuss collapses.
Just this male who seems to ask “ You’re looking at me?'”. Notice how the pelicans carefully backed off a bit.
and slowly they come back to the water, they seem really used to these outbursts and just put up with that.
