A pod of hippos inside the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania

What a nice way to celebrate International Hippo day as we enjoy watching these wonderful animals surrounded by the Ngorongoro crater walls in Tanzania. 

The little lake pictured here is host to a large pod of swimming hippos. Its location is quite easily accessible as it is adjacent to one of the major picnic sites. Nature lovers, bird watchers and wildlife photographers can easily spend a whole day watching the spectacular view as the hippos interact with each other.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
