Life in the hippo pool is brutal. This particular hippopotamus took some time out from the dirty water and allowed the Oxpeckers to do what they do best – picking any parasites and insects from the hippopotamuses back and open wounds.

Each one with its own unique ‘fingerprint’ of stripes – the humble zebra survives the wilds of the Serengeti by strength in numbers. These two lazily walked by as part of a large herd – I couldn’t resist the photo, they may have safety in numbers, but if separated, they become quite vulnerable.
