DWARF MONGOOSE …
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!

The Green Mamba and the Spider
Occasionally a Bark Spider decides to span its web across a road. If I see it in time (before driving through it) I always stop and show this fascinating creature and its ‘hunting tool’ to my guests. Once we had a good look I ‘cut’ the anchor line and the base line of the web.
The spider, now hanging with his web material from one tree only, eats up the remaining silk to preserve the protein for its next night’s web-building.
Nature is amazing!
