Hippopotamuses Preparing For the Night

Artist:

Sounding Wild

Outamba Kilimi NP, Sierra Leone

Notes:

These majestic animals spend the day in the river, to then get out of the river at night to feed on grass all night long, before heading back to the river again. You can hear the Hippopotamoes vocalising while in the water, and exiting from the river to go to the grassland.
