One of my favorite pictures illustrating the process called cold air condensation. A Thanda Cheetah male was demonstrations this most effectively on a cold winter’s morning 😊
I seldom post flora pictures but at this time of the year the usually green/brown/grey bush brings forward some winter colors which could rival the autumn colors in New England. Tamboti leaves and Aloe followers in red, orange and yellow are some of my favorite colors in the bush!
The next time you are on a photo safari I dare you to get a picture of one of these 😊
Slender Mongooses are always on the move. On safari I see them regularly shooting across the road from one thicket into the next but very rarely do I get the opportunity to take a photograph. This is one of these rare images.
These little carnivores are part of Herpestidae, a family of small carnivores. We got four of the family members on Thanda: White-tailed Mongoose, Water (Marsh) Mongoose, Banded Mongoose , Slender Mongoose.
A few people have asked me about the bird in the sunset shot I posted this morning. It was this Hooded Vulture. It was drinking at the waterhole before taking off into the sunset.
This morning I asked of which animal I took the detail pictures in the collage. The correct answer is an Elephant. And the details are: Ivory Tusk, Toe Nail, Foot Sole and Tail Hair.
I got two questions this morning. An easy one and a more challenging one. Which animal posed for these detail? And can you identify the body parts, of which they were taken of?
This evenings’s post will provide the answer 😊. Or you could go go to my http://www.wildlife4kids.com site for the answer where I posted this quiz a few days ago.
It was a windy day and a very quiet evening game drive. But the sunset was spectacular. I usually only post a picture or a video but I think you will agree that this warrants both. A picture of Giraffes on the savanna at late afternoon and a sunset time-lapse video taken at my favorite waterhole.
