Some interesting facts about hippos. They are quite dangerous. Even though they are herbivores they will attack humans (and they have huge teeth!). Hippos graze at night but spend most of the day in the water. Hippos can't swim so when you see them in the water their feet are touching bottom.

We followed this young male chimp for more than an hour. At first he was in the treetops feeding on figs. Eventually he came down from his tree and then we tagged along behind him on the ground in the forest. It almost seemed like he was leading us. He would look back to see if we were there. At one point he stopped and sat for about 5-10 minutes. That's when I took this picture. Soon he took off again and it was clear that if he wanted to lose us he could do it easily.
