It was afternoon and I was sipping my cool can of Ginger Ale, when I heard the first bellow, instantly followed by a loud grunt. Replacing the cap, I started pacing in the direction of the grunt. There was another low grunt and the sound was becoming indiscernible as I came closer. Soon I came upon two hippos facing each other, their mouths almost in contact, on the edge of a water channel. They were circling around in the water like two Sumo wrestlers performing their pre-game rituals.
As it would be apparent in just a bit, this was no wrestling. I was about to witness an interesting sequence of courtship activities between the two Hippos.
