Hippopotamus amphibius – 1855 Zululand ARCHIVES

By Sodwana Bay

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA2BgR5cQBQ[/embedyt] Taking you back to 1855! Life gave us lemons and we made some sweet lemonade! Our camera decided it wasn’t gonna play along on the day we shot this video! So we made an experienced amateur 1855 movie clip! We really weren’t keen on flying the drone as the Hippos looked so peaceful and we didn’t wanna scare them back into the water. This was the first time we had ever been able to find the whole Hippo pod basking on land! Starring Keira (AfriCanis dog), hippos and crocodiles. Super fun day at the Lake. First time seeing Crocs and Hippos on the same day… Please watch our Video… Please like, subscribe, share and hit the bell icon to get notified of each new video, also don’t forget to checkout our second booming newer channel – Koa Sinag – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXpyEjBiSt1Z9bXSWc4XImA where we practice on talking more… Loads of fun, adventure, and overall funny videos to watch on both Channels!

There’s a CROCODILE in my backyard!

By Sodwana Bay

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDSr5j5ofJ0[/embedyt] Checkout this cool video of our very first Crocodile found! Lake Sibaya is so close to us that we can literally hear the Hippos at night grunting! So we consider Lake Sibaya to be part of our backyard, since there are so few houses past us! We had been searching for months for some sort of sign that there might be at least one Croc in the Lake! Crocs are not as easy to spot as Hippos since they are so flat and mainly hide in the reeds! We discovered the best way to find a crocodile is to look for moving logs in the water or to find the shimmer in the reeds, more often then not, the shimmer you see in the reeds is a Nile Crocodile!


How fast can a Hippo run under water?

By Sodwana Bay

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDVFHXJtIBE[/embedyt]   We were so excited to find our very first Hippo. After months of trying to find Hippos we finally were able to see one. Although he was in the distance and all we could see was his head when he came up for air. It was a Hippo!!! This was a special mission of mine to find the Hippo as it was my mom’s favorite animal! So sort of this video and the Hippo Pod video goes out to you, mom hope you watched it from heaven! Drone Talk: I really tried my best to get the glare less with color grading in post editing but obviously I still have a lot to learn. This footage was taken before the Hippo Pod video and as you can see I did not take the time of day and the position of the sun in to consideration. It was noon 12pm and I flew directly into the sun – reflection on the water. Now I know better – get the sun to your back! I’m slowly learning and making many needed mistake as this will only make me a better wildlife drone operator. For Example with the Hippo Pod video – Lake Sibaya was smooth as glass and when I tried to find anything in the water – I could only see dark green – I had no reference points – no ripple or reflection. I did though; get awesome clouds reflecting in the water and super happy about that.
