EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, a hippopotamus named Hippo, of the species Hippopotamus amphibius, takes a respite at the water's edge in the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. The Masai Mara, a renowned national park and wildlife reserve, is situated in southwestern Kenya and is famous for its vast savannas, woodlands, and diverse wildlife. The hippopotamus, often referred to as the "river horse," is a semi-aquatic mammal that spends most of its day submerged in water to keep cool and protect its sensitive skin from the sun. However, this majestic creature emerges from the water to graze on grasses and vegetation, as seen in this image. In this portrait, Hippo's powerful and massive form is on full display, with its large, rounded snout and powerful jaws, which can deliver a bite force of up to 1,800 pounds of pressure. The hippopotamus's eyes are closed, suggesting that it is taking a peaceful moment to rest before returning to the water. The side view of the hippopotamus provides an excellent opportunity to appreciate its muscular physique and the intricate patterns on its skin. This photograph, taken by renowned wildlife photographer Sergio Pitamitz, captures the raw power and tranquility of the hippopotamus in its natural habitat. The serene water reflects the beautiful African landscape, creating a stunning and unforgettable image that showcases the beauty and diversity of the Masai Mara National Reserve. This portrait is a must-see for anyone interested in wildlife, Africa, or the natural world.
