Startled hippotomus dashes from his hiding place, Shire River, Liwonde National Park, Malawi, Africa - Dec 2008

(Pic 1 of 4) Startled hippotomus spots photographer. He tries to submerge before dashing from his hiding place
Startled hippotomus dashes from his hiding place, Shire River, Liwonde National Park, Malawi, Africa - Dec 2008
Despite being one of the larger members of the animal kingdom, hippos can be shy creatures.
So when photographer David Hobcote spotted this fellow enjoying a dip he was eager to snap a few shots.
But as he carefully paddled his boat closer to his subject in the Shire River in Malawi's Liwonde National Park, the hippopotamus got a bit camera shy.
At first the startled mammal tried to submerge underwater - where hippos can hold their breath for six minutes - but soon realised the marshy water wasn't deep enough.
So with a speed surprising for something so large he turned tail and made a dash for a quiet stretch of the river.
David explains: "Hippos are quite hard to photograph as, despite their size, they are quite shy and spend most of their time in daylight hours in the water.
"I cut the motor on the boat and paddled towards him but he quickly noticed me - I took this picture the second he saw me, hence the silly surprised look on the face."

The Rinspeed sQuba car - Feb 2008
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Rex Features / Rex Features ( 733687h )
Described as the world's first real diving car, the new sQuba is designed to autonomously turn into an amphibious vehicle at the push of a button and can submerge up to 10m (33ft) under water.
The Rinspeed sQuba car
BUBBLE O SEVEN
Anyone with a James Bond fixation may have something new to add to their wish list - a fully submersible sports car.
Inspired by the iconic 'underwater car' scene in James Bond's The Spy Who Loved Me, the Rinspeed sQuba is a concept car worthy of any secret agent.
Similar to 007's Lotus Esprit, the sQuba is a road-worthy vehicle that, at the touch of a button, can transform into an amphibious vehicle capable of diving to a depth of about 33 feet.
What's more, the stylish vehicle can do it all autonomously - that's right, it doesn't even need a driver to hit the depths.
Described by the Swiss-based company as "the worlds first real diving car with zero emission power", Rinspeed boss Frank M. Rinderknecht admits that it was Bond who gave him the idea for the sub-aqua motor. "And exactly thirty years later this becomes reality in today's world", he says.
Its eco-friendly engine credentials come thanks to an electric motor with powerful torque which drives the rear wheels. Propulsion on the water is by two propellers in the stern while two powerful jet drives in the bow propel the vehicle while diving underwater.
The light weight body will be manufactured with components made of futuristic 'Carbon Nano Tubes' and the driver (if there is one) will be supplied with fresh breathing air by the self-contained on-board system.
The sQuba will go on show for the first time at next month's motor show in Geneva, Switzerland. As a one-off concept car it is not for sale, but it cost around £750,000 to build.
