It was a cold early start to look for Whisky.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find him. I’m sure these days he’s travelling vast distances looking for a mate and will be traversing into unknown territory desperate just to find a companion. These dogs are so social the stress he’s going through must be something else.
This huge herd of buffalo was moving in on Banyini on their way to drink at the pan. And they just kept coming across the savannah. There were probably about 500 animals in this herd. They drank quickly and left straight back out again.
I was back to camp early today, as I’ll be heading out on night shift tonight following Khayeni, the leopard.
On my way home these Chacma baboon were still basking in the sun on this chilly morning. But usually they don’t hang around for the photograph to be taken.
What a wonderful profile shot of the baboon! I wonder what he’s thinking about.
As I watched the huge water buffalo herd, I wondered if at one time we could have seen large herds like this one on the Dakota plains. Different type of buffalo of course.
I’m sure on the Dakota plains the herds were a lot larger!!! But similar idea. I just love the numbers of these huge beasts. Much larger than Bison
