Hippos 🦛 play a crucial role in shaping the landscape of the Okavango Delta by creating deep channels and clearing paths through thick vegetation. They spend up to 16 hours a day in the water, only leaving at dusk to consume up to 40-60 kg of grass. Despite their somewhat comical appearance, they are considered one of Africa’s most dangerous animals. Males are highly territorial over water stretches. 🇧🇼 Botswana
