The lions have almost finished the buffalo carcass and this picture of Manyari and her new man sums up the situation.Just look at the huge stomach!

While driving to Banyini pan, I noticed smoke to the south. I drove down Chimize Track to investigate. the fire seems to be in Gonarenzou National Park, quite a distance to the south of us. my investigation left me close to Hwata pan so I stopped in. A rather timid lone hartebeest came in to drink all jittery.

I headed back to Banyini to catch the sunset before heading home. The sun glowing through the tree really caught my eye.

    Good morning from Massachusetts!

    Did the elephants really stay at the water for such a short time? Or did you compress half an hour or so into a couple of minutes?

    I really like these unnarrated clips. Much less distracting. The music (which is just beautiful-where could I buy a CD of it?) is enough. Unless the animals are doing something that might be puzzling to the viewer, or you are sharing a piece of information that we might not know (e.g.,”secretary birds mate for life”-that would not be apparent by just looking at them), just watching their behavior and listening to the music or the background music is enough (for me, anyway).

    P.S. What do I click on to leave a response to a clip so that it appears at the bottom on the page, under the “Responses to….” heading? I seem to be a day behind here in Northeast USA.

    Keep ‘em coming!

    Eve
