This fully illustrated talk will highlight the speakers interest (some may say obsession) in hippopotamuses (aka hippopotami or hippos for short). It will also give some basic facts about hippos and conclude with a famous song about them by English duo, Flanders and Swann.
Peter Cottrell is visiting MPA from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. His interest in hippos started when he visited South Africa as part of the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) project, starting in the late 1990s.
The talk will take place on August 12 at 5:30 pm in the MPA lecture hall.
