Eyes Above the Water πŸ¦›πŸ‘€
Spotted this massive beauty just barely breaking the surface β€” a hippo calmly watching the world go by from the safety of the water.

Hippos are known for their size and power, but it’s their quiet presence that makes moments like these so striking.
Bonus: A curious little water thick-knee stood nearby, like a loyal lookout. Nature always pairs things in the most unexpected ways!
