WATERHOLE ADVENTURES
With my Little Mamba (Suzuki Jimny) I visited one of my favorite waterholes on Thanda Safari for a few hours. It is called Mbomvu Dam (which means Red Dam in isiZulu). And as you can see from the picture it is named after the red soil in the area.
Birds:
African Paradise Flycatcher
Dark-capped Bulbuls
Emerald-spotted Wood Dove
Common Waxbill

Having an itch on the belly …
… and attending to it in an unusual way 😊
Interesting facts: Elephants have prehensile penises. It is quite hard for for such a large animal to get into the right position for sex. So the required navigation and rhythmic thrusting work is done by the male member itself. A side benefit is that it can be used for scratching and swatting flies. And it is quite painful to watch as it is occasionally dragged along the ground. When not in use it is fully retracted into the body.

Blister Beetle …
Interesting fact: They are so called for their defensive secretion of a poison, called Cantharidin, which causes blistering of the skin. It is used medically to remove warts.
About 7,500 Blister Beetle species are known worldwide.

Vultures and Drone!
This morning I had an excellent vulture sighting at Thanda Safari. At least fifty of these large birds were feeding of a Zebra carcass.
After I took lots of pictures with my cameras I tried to take some images with my drone. To my surprise the vultures ignored this ‘small bird’ and I was able to capture some interesting material from the air.
