New Born Hippo

Photographs courtesy Major Max:

These photos were taken in Nangolomon Dam in the west of the Park, though hippoes can be seen in several of the dams after the translocation from Ruai Sewage works….. (see blog archives)

Another hippo was brought into the park at the weekend after having trapped itself in a culvert at Ruai. (See Standard newspaper last weekend.)
