HIPPOS IN KATAVIDuring the dry season in Katavi the water sources dwindle to extreme levels. They dry up altogether apart from a few remaining pools. For the parks many hippos this is an especially tough time. They must squeeze into pools together and some even lie in the shade of trees during the day as there is simply no water left. There is much conflict as several rival pods may come into contact, and it is quite a spectacle to behold. Huge congregations of hippos can be seen. Despite the severity, every year most of the hippos survive and the cycle repeats itself.
