We were tracking some Lions at sunrise near Duba Plains, Botswana when we came around a turn to catch a Hippo as he was headed back into the water from a night out grazing. He was positioned beautifully for sunrise. A few seconds later a White Rhino appeared from behind us and almost immediately Hippo charged him. The Rhino didn't flinch, and the Hippo wheeled around and moved on.
