But it all ends well... especially for dung beetles that make great use of elephant poop.
|
This guy was about 6 inches long.
|
This big male cam straight at us...
|
and was part of a foursome that hadn't been seen in weeks.
|
He settled under cover...
|
This zebra probably lost his tail to one of these guys...
|
he looked straight at us and yet straight through us at the same time.
|
This beauty was curious and on alert.
|
With such damp weather, the most feared animal in the jungle didn't appear so fearsome - the Cape Buffalo.
|
Although this is the most dangerous animal on the planet and we look farely harmless.
|
This old guy had just made a lucky kill...
|
and was panting to get his breath back.
|
He killed this unassuming wildebeeste as it came for a drink of water.
|
The old leopard got to enjoy a portion of his kill for a day until...
|
the gang of four stole the carcass from him...
|
and made a much quicker meal of the rotting carcass.
|
They dug in deep and when they opened the stomach, the stench was so foul...
|
I felt like I had to shower 3 times to get it off me.
|
Amazing how it doesn't bother them at all.
|
and you can see how close we are to them and they aren't remotely bothered by us.
|
|
He literally walked right next to our open Land Rover within petting distance...
|
and is probably the same old guy from the day before who had his meal stolen by the lions.
|
He had just finished defending his life and territory...
