I love being in places where I’m NOT the alpha predator.
I thought I had wrinkles!
Zebra foal drinking.
Kudos. Each spiral represents 2 1/2 to 3 years of age.
I’ve always read that zebra stripes are like human fingerprints; no two are alike. I was fascinated verify that fact with great close-up observations.

Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill. I wonder how it got that name?
Wildebeest remind me a lot of teenage humans; all arms and legs with lots of awkwardness.

White Rhinoceros are not white. The name is derived from the Afrikaner word for “wide” referring to the wide lip. They are grazers and their lips allow them to pluck grass efficiently Their cousins, Black Rhinoceros, has a prehensile lip, almost finger-tip, for browsing.

I spent several weeks in Africa recently breaking out of my previous “bird-centric” photography.
The vultures never ate well with Black-backed Jackals about.
