[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Okavango Delta in Botswana is a wonderful place to see real wildlife in its own nature. One of the animals that is most seen is the elefant. You can see great herds of elefants walking through the bush, looking for humid sites to refresh themselves.

The elefants of the image are putting mud onto themselves to avoid the effect of the sun. It's amazing how this huge animals can move their heavy bodies with great agility.

The animals you can see in the background are hippopotamuses (strange word... isn't it?)

I hope you like the picture

Best Regards
Víctor

hi Victor

Quite a while since my last visit here. You have done a bit of travel and this shot is showing a nice wildlife scene of Botswana. Really great to see wildlife roaming free and wild.

Born to be wild.

TFS, bill

Hola Victor,
Hippo (caballo) potamus (agua). O sea caballo de agua según el origen griego de la palabra. Pues si que suena bonito y además se te llena completamente la boca, prueba a decirlo varías veces.
En cuanto a los elefantes, que gozada, están en su salsa. O sea que el barro es para protegerse contra el sol.Yo creía que era un antiparasitario. Veo que has estado en Bostwana, yo estaba pensando en Namibia y por supuesto con familia, hija de once años incluida. ¿Por casualidad conoces el país y sabes si es factible con niños?.
Un abrazo,
Mirari
