Hippos. They are so cool. They just like to roll in the mud all day and play with other hippos. Life is good if you are a hippo in the Ngorongoro Crater. Or, at least it appeared to be so. It is said that this is a perfect place to come and view animals as they have something of a sheltered existence here. Food is plentiful for everyone, so if you’re a herbivore life is good until a carnivore starts scoping you out. Hippos are , generally, quite adept at staying healthy. They stick around in a group or go out for a little munching not far from the watering hole. Myself, carnivore or not, I wouldn’t go down into that watering hole with them for any amount of money.
