Hungry, hungry Hippo







Here are images from a field trip to Hlawga Lake (pronounced La-ga Lake) that Andrew took his 6th grade science students on. They looked at look wildlife including two very large Hippos that you can feed by hand. Now, you may or may not know this, but Hippos have incredibly strong jaws that can crush bone. The fact that kids can practically stick their hands into the hippos mouth to feed them just speaks to the trusting nature or naïve nature of this country. Either way, these are amazing creatures. I also added the picture of two of his students because they look so bored and unhappy (I am sure this is just a posed picture because how could you not have fun with Mr. Bauman).
