, 1/200 f/3.2, ISO 800, hand held. South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Specie: Hippopotamus amphibius

Il sudore rosso degli ippopotami. Qualche anno fa è stato svelato da alcuni ricercatori giapponesi il segreto del "sudore rosso" degli ippopotami, identificando le sostanze chimiche responsabili dell'antico mito secondo cui questi animali suderebbero sangue. In realtà, le secrezioni degli ippopotami sono una mistura di due pigmenti instabili - uno rosso, l'altro arancione - che agiscono sia da crema solare sia da antibiotico, contribuendo altresì a mantenere freschi gli animali. #wild #night #safari

Nice picture.
Years and years ago, the then Zaire (Congo), I went at night - I was walking - a herd of hippos reminiscent of the film "I'm with the hippos", completely unconscious of the fact that these large animals deserve respect and They not at fault are those creatures "pucciose" and the Olympian calm that we imagine; fortunately they remained quiet and I turned around; proof that they are smarter than a sixteen year old reckless and senseless. :-)

Mark, I'm not afraid to take pictures in savannah also according to 50 cm from a male lion or an elephant (except old males), all you need is the right technique and not doing fast movements, but I never approached so much a hippopotamus. I saw how it was reduced the side of the jeep driver of a friend of mine from a hippopotamus and since then I've always kept at least 20-30 meters from the subjects. perhaps in the Masai Mara I am much more nervous than other parties because they are preyed upon by lions? I wanted to ask you something, since you've seen the best of us. but has a hernia or something similar under the collar?

Hello Francesco, in fact the hippos are rather dangerous animals and require great caution in approaching ... In Tanzania we ran some risk to be able to do some shooting at eye -D ... In this case, however, during the night safari, hippos find them by chance at every turn since come out en masse from the river to spend the night in the forest ... This beast we saw just the time you one or two photos ;-) are unfortunately not able to answer .. Thank pass :-)

But this was lost Marco, a great shot documentary enhanced by your explanation, was completely ignorant of the phenomenon of perspiration, it is certain that to survive in particularly unhealthy definitely developed antibodies specific indeed in nature nothing is left to chance, apart from the man .. ;-)

Greetings, Ricky. ;-)
