As Chen Wen kept moving forward, he encountered many animals he had not seen before.
The river was still filled with various groups of hippos.
He even spotted a herd comprised of single male hippos, where fights could break out at any moment.
Chen Wen avoided such hippo groups from afar and continued his journey.
Next, he encountered a pride of lions.
But these lions were across the river, and quite far away.
Chen Wen observed for a while. The pride was led by a mature male lion, with about five lionesses and two cubs he could confirm, although some cubs were hard to see.
"This is a pride on the rise; best not to approach or provoke them."
After memorizing the location and making notes, Chen Wen continued onward.
Shortly after, he came across a herd of African elephants once more.
This herd of African elephants had dominantly occupied the river, forcing all the Nile crocodiles to the shore.
After watching for a bit, Chen Wen left.
