From Steve Gettle
“Battle Royale” - Hippopotamus - Luango National Park, Zambia
This was one of the most epic battles I have ever witnessed in the natural world. It simply amazes me the power it took to lift the 3,000 lb bull off the ground like that. These two went at it hard for about a half hour, they were a bloody mess at the end.
Good Luck and Good Light! Steve

Calories in > calories out is the only way animals and pre-industrial humans managed to wake up the next morning. Having a choice in what you eat or don’t is probably one of the greatest accomplishments of our species.
