A group of hippos is called a bloat because the word perfectly captures the visual impact of several enormous, barrel-bodied animals packed together in shallow water. When hippos gather in pods — often dozens at a time — their rounded backs and swollen-looking forms rise from the river like floating boulders, giving the impression of something oversized and “bloated.” To get your Bloat of Hippos merchandise, visit Species Limited.

Looks like Shrek.
I can see that.
Exceptional, Sean!
Thanks Sue. Hippos are high on my list of favorite African animals.
This one who is “spy hopping” doesn’t look too happy with you! And I’ve heard that you do NOT want to be on the wrong side of a hippo’s attitude!
That’s very try Laura. I made a quick exit when I saw they were reacting to me.
