   Those are some very interesting… ducks? I wonder what their relationship is like, between the ducks, turtles and hippo. They all look so content together. The hippo must enjoy the company.

   I bet the water is wonderfully warm and the bath is pleasant. Lucky him! It probably tickles the back in a lovely way to have these frequent flyers sitting there.

   A regular army
   Of Hippopotami
   All singing this haunting refrain:

   Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud
   Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
   So come follow me, follow –
   Down to the hollow
   And there let us wallow
   In glorious mud!

   Flanders & Swan, at 1.10 in the following clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjnOj9O16_I with full chorus at 3.25

   it’s the party boat. And they come alive after dark as the hippo is sensitive to sun exposure.

   Then the guitar riff kicks in… ♫ ♪
