Pygmy Hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis)Observer
tremarctosDescription
A truly amazing encounter with one of the world's most enigmatic ungulates. When I first saw this Pygmy Hippo, it was resting on the ground a few meters off the trail, covered with sweat droplets. After about an hour of waiting, it got up and slowly walked through the forest. It did not appear to mind my presence.

So....I couldn't get it to show well in photo as I only had my cell phone on me, but all the light areas of this worm bioluminesced blue. So uh...wtf? Who knows what kind of earthworm can biolumenesce? Or did it like...eat a firefly? No I'm not seeing things, I was not the only one there and we all saw it. And yes, all sober, in case you are thinking that.
