EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in the wild, showcasing two juvenile male hippos engaging in play-fighting. Taken by renowned wildlife photographer Robyn Stewart, this image was captured in the breathtaking Serengeti National Park located in Tanzania, Africa. The photograph showcases the Hippopotamus RS 149, an iconic species known for its immense size and power. These young males are seen practicing their fighting skills, preparing themselves for future challenges against mature males to establish dominance within their social hierarchy. In real contests among adult hippos, body weight and jaw span become decisive factors. It is fascinating to witness these juveniles exhibiting such aggression and determination as they learn valuable lessons through playful confrontation. The intensity of their expressions reveals a glimpse into the fierce nature of these creatures. Hippopotamuses are magnificent mammals that inhabit various national parks across Africa. Their presence adds vibrancy to the African landscape and serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our natural world.
