Hippos are recognizable by their barrel-shaped torsos, enormous mouths and teeth, nearly hairless bodies, stubby legs and great size, adults average 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) and 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) for males and females respectively, making them the largest species of land mammal after the 3 species of elephants and the white and Indian rhinoceros. It can easily outrun a human, being capable of reaching 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances. The hippopotamus is one of the most aggressive and unpredictable creatures in the world and, as such, ranks among the most dangerous animals in Africa. Despite their physical resemblance to pigs, their closest living relatives are whales and porpoises.

This is a panorama, not a crop. I used 4 overlapping angles from 1 tripod position, and shot 3 exposures at each angle, each spaced at 1 1/3. I processed the HDR for each angle first using PhotoMatrix. Then, I used PhotoStitch to combine the four resulting composite images into one panorama.
