Bloat Afloat

A trip on a Kilimanjaro Safaris truck is a fun and educational experience. One learns interesting things about the animals along the route. For example, hippopotami spend a lot of time in the water, giving their legs a rest by floating with only the tops of their bodies visible above the surface. Another interesting fact is that the collective noun for at group of hippos is a bloat. So what we have here is a floating bloat.

 

One thing that one does NOT learn on safari is that one hippopotami cannot get on a bus, because one hippopotami is two hippopotamus. One learns that from the song One Hippopotami from the legendary genius of parody, Allan Sherman.
