"From Africa, with Love": Good Samaritan Hippo saves wildebeest, zebra babies - see this YouTube sensation

Hippo saves wildebeest, zebra babies: "Videos showing a hippo rescuing a wildebeest calf and then a zebra foal from drowning in a strong-flowing river are causing a sensation."

Beware, safari-goers!
"Aggression

Hippopotamuses are by nature very aggressive animals, especially when young calves are present. Frequent targets of their aggression include crocodiles, which often inhabit the same river habitat as hippos. Nile crocodileslions, and spotted hyenas are known to prey on young hippos.[50] Hippos are very aggressive towards humans, whom they commonly attack whether in boats or on land with no apparent provocation.[51] They are widely considered to be one of the most dangerous large animals in Africa.[52][53]
To mark territory, hippos spin their tails while defecating to distribute their excrement over the greatest possible area.[54] Hippos are retromingent, likely for the same reason.[55]
Hippos rarely kill each other, even in territorial challenges. Usually a territorial bull and a challenging bachelor will stop fighting when it is clear that one hippo is stronger. When hippos become overpopulated, or when a habitat starts to shrink, bulls will sometimes attempt to kill infants, but this behavior is not common under normal conditions.[49] Some incidents of hippo cannibalism have been documented, but it is believed to be the behavior of distressed or sick hippos, and not healthy behavior.[8]"
"Adult hippos cannot swim and are not buoyant. When in deep water, they usually propel themselves by leaps, pushing off from the bottom. They move at speeds up to 8 km/h (5 mph) in water. Young hippos are buoyant and more often move by swimming —propelling themselves with kicks of their hind legs. Adult hippos typically resurface to breathe every 3–5 minutes. The young have to breathe every two to three minutes.[8] The process of surfacing and breathing is automatic, and even a hippo sleeping underwater will rise and breathe without waking. A hippo closes its nostrils when it submerges."

"Even though they are bulky animals, hippopotamuses can run faster than a human on land. Estimates of their running speed vary from 30 km/h (18 mph) to 40 km/h (25 mph), or even 50 km/h (30 mph). The hippo can maintain these higher speeds for only a few hundred meters.[8]"




Well, not faster than "a human"; faster than SOME humans, I would say.




I don't have maximum cards with the regular hippo species, so here are MCs with Pygmy Hippopotamus species:

Newsweek: Tribal ties—race, ethnicity, and religion—are becoming more important than borders.

Tribalism is not dead; on the contrary.
Same thing goes for gangs, "good ole' boys network", "in-crowds", brotherhoods, sisterhoods, fraternities, sororities, clans, prides, herds, flocks, pods, schools [of fishes], alliances, teams, commandos, etc.

Some tribes have their own style of clothing, or lack thereof.




Groups will always shoot "poison arrows" towards other groups.
And there are always "armies of ONE".
Tribesman shoots tribesman.
Even from the same tribe, should the paths cross too much.

Read a very interesting article from Newsweek:

"Broad concepts—green, socialist, or market-capitalist ideology—may animate cosmopolitan elites, but they generally do not motivate most people. Instead, the “tribe” is valued far more than any universal ideology. As the great Arab historian Ibn Khaldun observed: “Only Tribes held together by a group feeling can survive in a desert.”"

Hoe om te skep en versamel jou eie stempels, poskaarte en pels?

Appetizer vir jou: Skyfievertoning met 'n paar van my maksimum kaarte, ens

Waarom nie passief versamel net iemand anders se skeppings? Omdat dit frustrerend is. Hoekom 'n persoonlike stempel? Omdat JY KAN.
Kyk na 'n paar voorbeelde van persoonlike posgeld (persoonlike tempel) van die VSA. Zazzle.com / dorinco *

Zazzle is my mees gunsteling plek in die wêreld vir die maak van my eie persoonlike posgeld (persoonlike tempel).



'N ander USPS-erkende amptelike verskaffer van persoonlike posgeld is Endicia:

'N ander USPS-erkende amptelike verskaffer van persoonlike posgeld is stamps.com:

http://www.stamps.com/

'N ander USPS-erkende amptelike verskaffer van persoonlike posgeld is Foedji se yourstamps.com:

http://www.yourstamps.com/

In die foto hieronder, is daar drie stempel ontwerpe wat ek gemaak het (dit is ek in die foto) om te vergelyk die grootte van die prent en van die stempel algehele, uit dié drie verskaffers.

Ek het in die vergrote by stamps.com want ek kan net hoop vir 'n portret, aangesien hulle grootte is so klein.

Ek het vergrote uit by pictureitpostage om aan te toon die meeste van die filatelistische expo raam agter my.

En ek vergrote het nog 'n ekstra op zazzle.com, te verkry van die donker agtergrond aan die bokant van die beeld, die plaas van my teks.

Elke sodanige verskaffer moet leer uit Zazzle wat toelaat teks aanpassing is 'n mededingende voordeel,' n killer app.








Waarom 'n persoonlike poskaart? Kan jy nie koop kommersiële dié met ELKE ONDERWERP jy wil hê altyd en oral? Uh, nee, jy kan nie!
Hier is 'n voorbeeld van persoonlike poskaart, rug en front, wat ek gemaak het by winkflash.com (vertel hulle Hi! uit Dorinco)

Die teks hieronder skandering gedoen het goed nie, maar in werklikheid dit lyk baie beter.



Die moeilikste ding van dié drie genoem word in die titel is om jou eie picturale poststempel, wettig en geldig vir posgeld met jou Post (USPS in my geval - die Verenigde State van Amerika Postal Service)
At usps.com, kan jy uit te vind hoe sommige groepe toestemming te hê en gebruik sommige picturale pels, binne die reëls kan verkry.

Ek praat hier oor wat jy, as 'n individu. Hier is my oplossing, steeds binne die VSA-regulasies, sover ek weet.

Ek het aansoek gedoen vir 'n Mailer's Postmark Verblyfpermit van USPS, dan sal ek betaal vir' n toepaslike canceler (die postmarking toestel) uit 'n spesifieke verskaffer (besonderhede later).

As ek wil pictorialize poststempel my, ek sal die toepassing van sommige stempel REG LANGS my poststempel, sonder oorvleueling (net vrede kom USPS).

Hier is hoe die gereelde ink (volgende keer wat ek sal koop StAZ-OP ink) voer op eenvoudige kantoor papier:



Hier is my standaard profiel / bio / info, posted in verskeie forums van filatelie (stempel versamel), deltiology (poskaart versamel), marcophily (poststempel versamel), scrapbooking, 'n collage, decoupage, montage, mailart, artistamps, ens
Hello, potensiaal filatelistische vennote en vriende!

My naam is Dorin en ek is 'n manlike; Doreen is vir vroue, OK? Ek is gebore en grootgemaak in Transylvania. Moenie my vertel jy nie weet nie in watter land is dat; jy 'n filatelist, of' n postcrosser is [sien forum.postcrossing.com], sterk in die geografie en geskiedenis nie, is jy nie?

Ek woon al in die VSA vir die afgelope paar jaar.

My fokus is op Wild Mammals op maksimum-kaarte. Soms kry ek of maak 'n maksimum kaarte met ander diere of enige ander onderwerp. Byvoorbeeld, sou ek lief te hê ten minste een met elke spesie van soogdiere (veral buideldieren) uit Australië, Papoea-NG, ens Vir diegene soogdiere nog nie op seëls-dat wat persoonlike seëls is vir die! Ek sal skep, binne die begroting.

Ek het ook versamel seëls, maar daar is miljoene van versamelaars wat self die ander miljoene eksemplare van dieselfde tempel, gewoonlik. Hoeveel maksimum kaarte dink jy bestaan met 'n bepaalde stempel? Hoeveel is versamelaar-geskape? Daarbenewens is hoeveel maksimum kaarte seëls persoonlike hê? Hoeveel is gemaak vir die genieting van die filatelistische wêreld deur u, immortalizing jy in die proses?

Is dit nie zeldzaamheid die grootste faktor in die waarde van 'n versamelbare orde? Sekere uitsonderings van toepassing is, natuurlik.

Na insamel net stempels vir meer as 35 jaar, almal wat deur ander mense, het ek besluit ek moet maak:
- My eie persoonlike tempel, uit verskeie lande
- My eie poskaarte (selfs op maat met teks gedruk op die agterkant van winkflash.com, byvoorbeeld)
- My eie canceler (postmarking-apparaat), goedgekeur word deur die Verenigde State van Amerika Postal Service (USPS); die permit heet MPP-sien besonderhede hieronder.

Maximaphily
Maximaphily is 'n tak van filatelie, of stempel te versamel, dat die invordering beteken maksimum kaarte.
In die algemeen, 'n maksimum kaart is' n poskaart, met 'n stempel en' n poststempel op die foto kant. Ideaal gesproke moet al hierdie 3 elemente gestemd word, maar nie identies.

Uit my versameling van maksimum-kaarte ( 'n aantal items is, mag of geword het, "vir die handel")
Gewoonlik nie vir handel (tensy iemand maak my 'n onweerstaanbare aanbod, soos die koop); klik op pels / Winter sub-album, ook:

    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the

    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
