What bird is this? – I will post the result this evening!
WHICH BIRD? WEDNESDAY – THE MORNING POST
THE EVENING POST – LION’S ROAR BY ROOT
This is the second video with music from the album ‘Under the Marula Tree’ by ROOT, a local band. It features some of my pictures and videos taken at Thanda Safari.
The music is composed to symbolize African nature icons (eg sunrises, Lions, Elephants, …). This very special album is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer for streaming and download! https://root.hearnow.com/
Enjoy the Lion’s Roar 😊

THE MORNING POST – SHAKE
Young Elephant bulls often violently shake their heads once they made up their mind to move out of the way. It may look intimidating but it is actually just a sign to announce their change of direction after they stood in front of a vehicle for a while.
This one did a particularly nice head shake 😊

THE EVENING POST – SYNCHRONIZED STARING
These two Giraffe bulls did what Giraffes do best: Staring for a long time at something in the distance. Often they focus on predators or – in this case – on other male Giraffes. This behavior is very useful for guides and trackers as following their stare often leads straight to interesting sightings.
Have a good evening 😊

THE EVENING POST – COLORFUL
Male Black-necked Agama intensify their blue color if they are excited 😊 I love the strong colors on this specimen.
Have a good week!

THE EVENING POST – THE LOOK
One of the most intimidating situation is a male Lion looking straight into your eyes. This is not a high quality image but it captures the situation perfectly! Good night …

THE MORNING POST – RIVER HORSES
The German name for a Hippo is ‘Flusspferd’ which if translated literally mean river horse. But no matter what name they are given I think they are not ideal for riding.
And did you know that the closest living relatives of the Hippopotamidae are aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins? 😊
Enjoy your Saturday!
THE EVENING POST – THE LEBOMBOS
As I drove back home after a photo lesson this afternoon this beautiful scenery presented itself. A Giraffe family in the foreground and the Lebombo mountains as a backdrop in beautiful winter light. Thanda at its best!
Enjoy your weekend!
PS: The pictures were taken with my iPhone.

THE MORNING POST – ROOT
Eugene, a good friend of mine is member of a music band called ROOT. He is currently producing a series of short videos featuring tracks from ROOT’s album ‘Under the Marula Tree’.
The music is composed to symbolize African nature icons (eg sunrises, Lions, Elephants, …). This very special album is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer for streaming and download! https://root.hearnow.com/
I gave ROOT permission to use my pictures and videos clips – mostly taken at Thanda Safari – to create music videos.
I really like the first result. And more are in production! Enjoy this African Sunrise 😊
