THICK-TAILED BUSHBABY

The THICK-TAILED BUSHBABY, also know as Brown Thick-tailed Galago, is one of six primate species in South Africa. Can you name the other five?

PS: This is the only picture I was ever able to take of this very shy creature in the wild.

WHAT A NOSE

An Elephant’s trunk contains over 40,000 muscles. A human body contains a mere 639 muscles!

JUMP

During a fight this Southern African Ground Squirrel did a great jump!

Another Bird Ringing Weekend at Thanda Safari

The last bird ringing with James Rawdon was a big success so we are repeating the exercise from 25 to 27 June.

… and I will be around to take bird and ‘guest with bird’ pictures, and help with bird photography questions.

Don’t miss this weekend and get up close and personal with our birds 😊

IN A HURRY

I took this picture when the Giraffe mum was in a hurry to get to the waterhole and the little one was trying to get a drink at the same time.

And the mother was chewing a bone from a carcass to replenish minerals in her body while she was striding towards the water.

WINTER EVENING

My Green Mamba at Thanda Safari’s Sulela Dam this evening just as the sun set.

I love winter evenings!

MUM AND THREE

It was very relaxing watching a Cheetah mum and her three cubs resting on the Thanda Safari savanna as the sun started to set.

I hope you are also having a relaxing weekend!
