Common hippos are recognisable by their barrel-shaped torsos, wide-opening mouths revealing large canine tusks, nearly hairless bodies, columnar legs and large size; adults average 1,500 kg (3,310 lb) and 1,300 kg (2,870 lb) for males and females respectively. Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it is capable of running 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances.

You can see these beautiful starlings pretty much everywhere in Kenya. Very easy to spot and nice to look at because of their shiny blue feathers and reddish-brownish belly.
In Naivasha, they seemed very used to seeing people as well and were not frightened at all.
Some of my pics are also on stock.
