I could not find the Blue Gnu so had to settle for the Blue Hippo. The Blue Hippo is smiling at least for Smile on Saturday.
快樂天堂
作詞 呂學海 作曲者 陳復明
大象長長的鼻子正昂揚 全世界都舉起了希望
孔雀旋轉著碧麗輝煌 沒有人能夠永遠沮喪
河馬張開口吞掉了水草 煩惱都裝進它的大肚量
老鷹帶領著我們飛翔 更高更遠更需要夢想
告訴你一個神秘的地方 一個孩子們的快樂天堂
跟人間一樣的忙碌擾嚷 有哭有笑 當然也會有悲傷
我們擁有同樣的陽光

Thank you for visiting and for your kind comments, awards and faves - I appreciate them all!
The hippos at the Cincinnati Zoo are very used to people being around, and play for the audience with style and charm. Personality plus.

A photo from 2019 was easy to choose, it has to be one from hippo baby Bulma. First time i saw an hippo baby and i enjoyed it so much to see her play and growing up. Sadly short after she leaves Zoo Amneville her keepers in Zoom Erlebnis found her dead in her enclosure.. Bulma was 4 years old..
Hippopotamus carved by the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Sits on our windowsill and is immensely tactile.
Modern Shona sculpture dates from the mid 1900s and is rooted in their earlier stone carving going as far back as the 11th century.
For Macro Mondays “Animal”. 24 layer focus stack rendered in HeliconFocus and Affinity Photo. Cropped to frame width of 2.8 inches at distance of Hippo's nose.
This Hippo (Hippopotamus) was returning to the water early morning, was suddenly attacked by a lioness and got some scrapes and minor wounds but was able to run away and get to the water.

LEGACY ATHLETIC BODY
The name hippopotamus comes from the Greek word for “river horse” because they’re often found in water. I photographed these big boys during early morning hours, which is possibly why the hippo on the right is yawning. Rough night?
The hippopotamus, is a large semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. Hippos inhabit rivers, lakes, and mangrove swamps. Territorial bulls each preside over a stretch of water and a group of five to thirty cows and calves. During the day, hippos remain cool by staying in water or mud, emerging at dusk to graze on grasses.
Note the two Ox peckers harvesting ticks from the Hippo's hide.

These two male Hippos were in a prolonged dispute over territory. They would get really worked up, foaming at the mouth, opening and closing it like a marionette puppet. They seemed very unsure of their footing in the rocky river but positioned themselves in various places which each thought favored their position. Their fighting consisted of fast movements and opened jaws, but no actual bites. I read that this behavior can go on for hours and can include more contact, but this one lasted about 30 minutes a good part of which was spent maneuvering for position or working themselves up for a really convincing open jawed threat that would be sure to convince their rival not to mess with them. Eventually it worked! (Hippopotamus amphibius) (Sony a1, 70-200 f/4 @ f/4, 200mm, 1/1600 second, ISO 640)
Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius) calf named "Amahle", which means “beautiful one” in Zulu. Amahle was born on February 8, 2020 and is the 9th calf born to Funani and Otis since their arrival at the San Diego Zoo. Conservation Status: Vulnerable
What fun to see inside a hippopotamus' mouth, and hear its unmistakable call. But best of all, the look of fear in the eye of the hippo closest to my camera. Apparently hippos yawn at sunset to assert their territorial claim, and who among us was ever going to argue? Certainly not the hippo trying desperately to vacate the scene. This shot taken in Chobe National Park, in Botswana.
Taken at Animal Kingdom in Orlando... this Egret found an interesting platform from which to watch us tourists from. This is from one shot (think the camera had a bit of nightmare on where to focus and meter from... sharing for the interesting composition.
