Photographer’s Note

Interesting to visit San Diego Zoo.

This hippo enjoyed going up and out the water.

But I am not sure that it really enjoyed this life. San Diego zoo is one of the best in the world, animal are breed well, it must be modern and echological.
But I think that in a few years zoos will finish and we'll stop to go and see animals in captivity

When i saw the thumbnail and the shot i wondered how you took this underwater shot.By reading the note only i understood its inside a glass cage.
Great shot.TFS

Ciao Livia,
a vederlo così sembra un animale pacioccone invece ho letto che è quello che fa fuori più uomini in assoluto!
Sai che sei già invitata a vederli dal vivo sul fiume Niger!

La simpatia fatta animale... almeno nell'iconografia dei cartoni :-)
Bella e interessante la foto, certo soffre di qualità ma con questa tonnellata di simpatia davanti si può benissimo perdonare, comunque i colori sono belli e lui magnifico, complimenti Livia.
Ciao
Vinicio

Belle photo de cet animal grâcieux dans son élément, l' eau, une fois dehors moins gracieux mais néanmoins très rapide. Très très jolis ce tatouage animalier sur sa patte avant gauche, l' aviez vous remarqué cette tete de tigre blanc??? Amitiés Thomas
je reviens

Hello Livia,
Had to look twice to realize he's under water!!
Funny felklow, I like the expression in that face...
Interesting underwater colours as light works in special ways...
Nice composition!

Oh, Livia,
you know what? in 2002 this hippo slept in exactly the same posture!:)
Do you know that they can sleep underwater, like seals?
Amazing, isn't it?

Ciao Livia, beato lui che sta a bagno, mentre noi siam bagnati di sudore, simpatica foto, bella nota, penso anch'io che lo zoo sia un luogo di crudeltà nei confronti degli animali, anche se moderno ed all'avanguardia come questo, ciao Silvio

Hi Livia. Wonderful to see the Hippo in it's environment under the water. Good creative work. Murray.

Hi Livia
this is really an unusual portrait ! And you done under the water i presume !...
Impressive. I like the smiling face of this animal.
Excellent
