Swimming puffie

We saw this nice big, Male puffie at a 4x4 driving track in Magalies.
It was late morning and I only had the 70-200 lens with me, he disappeared into the bushes soon afterwards.

Awesome MrG
Its amazing how much of their body sticks out of the water when they swim - almost as if they don't like it much.

You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it’ll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it’s not even funny.

That's awesome. Almost looks like a Cottonmouth swimming.
