Riverboat trip to see the Hippos and the Crocodiles.

The following day that we went on the safari  we went on a riverboat to see the Hippos and the Crocodiles on the St. Lucia river. Also nice trip.
We were told that the Hippos  can't swim, so when the go down under water it's to walk and than come up for air.


They didn't say why the Hippos Yawn.  I think it's to get more air. 
The name of this heroni s called Goliath.

More Hippos. 
This is a hippo tooth. It's  hugh.

If you look closely  you will see a little yellow bird called yellow weavers. They weave their nests as you will see in the next picture.
Those little round balls are the nests. Once the nest is finish the male shucks the leaves off the grass and if the female does not approve he has to do it again. 
The Goliath  in flight. They are the biggest heron.
We only saw 2 crocs but couldn't take pictures cause they kept evading the boat, but this one was sunning himself. He is a big one.
