So far no one has found the animal in the picture. This is a bit sharper version of the same picture.
Maybe more luck this time 🙂
I will post some close-ups tomorrow morning 🙂
Blend in!
Find and name the animal in this (a bit blurry) picture!
I will post some close-ups soon 🙂
Mating Eyes
When Lions mate they are actually busy for multiple days with a copulation every twenty to thirty minutes. In the breaks the male and the female keep eyes each other.
I love these two images which I took during such an intermission. An alert gentlemen and a lady giving him a stern look!
ID, please ?
Yesterday evening I took these pictures of a strange-looking bird. I am not certain, but I think it is a amelanistic form of a Dark-capped Bulbul. Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance for the input.
The last of the five!
The Big Five are by far the most photographed and talked about of all African animals. But it is really the Lions, Leopards, Elephants and Rhinos which get the major share of the fame. Well, this blog shows ten images to portray the fifth Big Five, the most magnificent (and dangerous) bovine in its natural environment, the Cape Buffalo. Enjoy these Thanda Buffalo pictures!
What is he looking at?
Have a guess what Thanda’s dominant male is looking at in this picture!
Chewing bones, parking backwards, fishing large and catching big!
A strange title for a blog?
Yes, but these images explain it all …
… a female Nyala chewing on a bone to get some extra calcium during the dry season.
… two Elephants wetting their bums by backing into a waterhole.
… a Seagull catching a very large fish!
… and a little Bee-Eater catching a ‘big’ Butterfly.
I really enjoy these unusual sightings – remarkably uncommon 🙂
Thanda Cats
Watching Africa’s iconic large cats – Lion, Leopard and Cheetah – is always a special treat on any safari. But these three sighting were even more exciting than usual. First we saw Thanda’s dominant male Lion mating with the oldest female of the Mduna pride. Then we observed a young Cheetah female doing what Cheetahs ‘never do’, climbing up a tree trunk. And last but not least we sat with a relaxed and very beautiful male Leopard for quite a while, in broad day light!
A pleasure for the Thanda guests and great picture opportunities for all Wildlife photographers among them!
Scarlet Beauty
A few images of one of my favorite birds – Scarlet-chested Sunbird – I took them this weekend on Pakamisa.
Brothers!
… no more words, just the image …
