My morning started off with those dreaded interviews for the Series. Each episode I need to do narration and still can’t get my head around enjoying it. Well I suppose it’s not that I don’t enjoy it but always get frustrated in getting my voice right for the scenes it’s needed in.
Then it was out after elephants. They were still hanging out where I’d left them yesterday, south of Nduna. There’s a flush of good food in the area and with all the rain that fell there last week, all the pans are full.
By 9am it was already hot and One-tusk and her family were chilling in the shade of a knobthorn tree. They weren’t interested in venturing from there except to wallow close by and then back to the shade. Of course getting hungry, but not wanting to move out the shade, the poor trees roots got a hammering being ripped up.
Being able to get up so close to One-tusk in the shade today I noticed she was blind in her left eye. How long has it been that way? Her trust for me was so amazing when she stood here next to me with her blind eye facing me and wasn’t in the least bit concerned.
I’ve often wondered if a totally blind elephant could survive. Their other senses are so good I’m pretty sure they could. Except in areas where lions have taken to killing elephants, like in Botswana.
I left the elephants early today to get a break before heading out for the night on the search for Manyari again.
Nice commentary. last thirty days I uncovered this internet internet site and desired to permit you be conscious that i’ve been gratified, heading via your site’s posts. I should certainly be signing equally as much as the RSS feed and can wait around for another post. Cheers, Glen
