2016 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest - 25 early entries in this year's competition. Territorial Hippo. I was on a photographic safari in Chobe River, Botswana in April 2016 when I took this image. At this time of the year the water levels are high and herds of hippopotamus share the tributaries. This particular bull was very territorial and liked a mock charge whenever our boat passed his patch of the river on our daily outings.
