 Day 3 taken Feb. 11th 2012 at the Adventure Aquarium. It's not a good picture, but, I get such a kick out of the hippos here. I don't know how unusual it is for a hippo to do flips and glide upside down, but it was the first time in the years I've been going here that I witnessed it.

What a massive animal. Cool capture.

The girl on the left looks like she is looking in the mirror and seeing herself dressed in a burqa.

I didn't see the hippo at first. How could I have missed a HIPPO?! Just love that pose.

Fun! Love how the fish are reflecting the light too.

Without the description, I would have thought it was a manatee. Our zoo in Toronto doesn't have a underwater viewing section for the hippos. It's really cool that your's does.

So amazing! I have never seen anything like that. Playful hippos! They must love the water. In this shot, I like how the fish glow in the light of the flash. (I am assuming flash was used here.)

I had no idea these guys were SOOO big. Very cool image and the placement of the people and the fish make the size that much more amazing.

I thought that hippop had strange ears until I read that he was upside down.
When I was a volunteer zoo guide, I used to feed hippos (by chucking hay over the fence), but there was no way to see them underwater like this.

How funny! Amazing how you can go to zoos and aquariums hundreds of times and always see and learn something new.

My goodness - what a great way to show the scale of the hippo, too!
