Hippo at the Sweni Hide

Hippo with calf
We were sitting at the Sweni Hide in the Kruger Park and we could not see any animals. We could not even see fish, crocs or terrapins as the water had some type of green plant floating on it.
A few birds landed on the bank and were looking for fish - I'm sure they also could not see into the water!
Suddenly the Hippo just emerged from the water, yawned, snorted and went back under. You can see the green plant on her back and on her large teeth!
Did you see the hippo's calf to the right of her - you can just make out the eye and nostril?
