Heavyweights posture over access to water
Safari scribbles:
A young hippo seeking respite in the water was not welcomed by a larger more dominant bull – the wide mouthed yawns indicate the larger’s displeasure while the panicked mouth chomping by the smaller attempts to infer his submission and plea to have shared access to this watery piece of hippo real estate.
