Ted's Excellent Pictures Taken in Botswana
Chobe National Park & River
November 2018
Happy Hippy Hippopotami (or, if you prefer, Hippopotamuses) in the Chobe River(*)
By the way - the name Hippopotamus comes from the ancient Greek for 'River Horse'
(* The part of the Chobe near where it meets the Zambezi River and what may be the world's only Four-nation Quadripoint - yes, I was there too)

That tickles!

When you're smiling - the whole world smiles with you

I'm smiling because Ben & Jerry's is on sale! See ya later, alligator!

I'm back - where were we?

Don't tell the wife - I ate the whole thing!

I'm walkin' here!

You'd look like this too, if you were saddled with the name Water Thick-Knee Dikkop Burhinus Vermiculatus

(Or maybe they just look exasperated because they're married with a teenager)

Pied Kingfisher


Little Bee-eater


Malachite Kingfisher


African Fish-Eagles


Tch! I just washed these claws!


Adult Goliath Heron

Tawny Eagle



African Skimmers having a laugh

Waterbucks having a joust

I guess they no longer see eye-to-eye

Pass me the remote control - there's got to be something better on



What the ... ?




Crikey! I'm a crocodile, okay? - Alligators suck



A face only a mudder could love

There goes the neighbourhood

Ready for the mud pack

The family that muds together, stays together


What a cheeky kid - he's mooning me!

What's that smell? B.O.? Ew - it's beyond B.O.! Look at the guy on that boat do his elephant impression!

This is how elephants give tourists the finger
