EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a wild piggyback ride! This print captures the incredible sight of a Common Hippopotamus chilling in the water, with some unexpected passengers hitching a ride on its back. A group of terrapins has found the perfect resting spot on this hippo's sturdy frame, creating an unlikely mixed-species gathering in the Maasai Mara Reserve of Kenya. In this snapshot from nature's playground, we witness the harmonious coexistence between mammals and reptiles. The hippos seem unperturbed by their tiny companions as they go about their business in the river. It's like they've formed their own exclusive club for aquatic adventures! The serene waters provide a picturesque backdrop to this extraordinary scene. With national parks and nature reserves surrounding them, these animals are free to roam and thrive in East Africa's stunning landscapes. Photographer Suzi Eszterhas has expertly captured this moment of tranquility and camaraderie among creatures that couldn't be more different. It serves as a reminder that even in the animal kingdom, friendships can be found where you least expect them. So hop aboard our imagination train and let your mind wander into this whimsical world where terrapins become hitchhikers on hippo taxis! Just remember not to mention commercial use – after all, these animals deserve their privacy too!
