That made twenty-seven in one day.

Also some monkeys.

The hippos were delightful.

They seemed so aristocratic, like gouty old gentlemen, puffing and blowing and yawning, as though everything bored them.
From diary of February 28th, 1907.
When just going up for coffee, saw what was so big, looking at it against horizon, thought it must be an elephant.

Was a young hippo.
Captain Jensen brought boat within eighty yards of him, and both Anstrossi and I fired, apparently knocking him off his legs, for he rolled on his side as though his back was broken.
