Straight from the hippo's mouth: an investigation of hippopotamus ecology and the people that investigate it

Though one of the largest land mammals in existence today, there has been relatively little research into the ecology and behavior of the common hippopotamus. In response, a team of UC Berkeley researchers has set up camp in Laikipia, Kenya, in hopes of elucidating some of the mysteries that link these peculiar giants with the greater river ecosystem. Come learn what the researchers have discovered so far and get a glimpse into the life of a field biologist in the Kenyan bush.
