To the north of Manyuchi I found a new hyaena den!
When I was there at dawn I was greeted by these two little guys. They were just curious to see this strange beast and hung around for ages watching me.
Then lying in the den entrance was a female suckling her youngster/s. Her cub/s are really small and I only briefly saw the head of a tiny little black cub. Not more than a week old and hardly mobile. Mom will suckle these youngsters for ages lying right in the hole. Only when they’re a little more mobile will she suckle them out the den.
I left mom still holed up and headed west to the Chiredzi River. I had decided I’d drive the whole length of the river today.
Near the upper end on the far bank I saw these lions. A lioness and some about one year old cubs.
Other than that the river was fairly quiet.
I then headed back east to Chiloveka dam where there was considerable bird activity. 5 Black Storks together was a rare find, but they didn’t hang around for me.
Several Black-headed Herons were feeding on the shores while a Spoonbill frantically swept the waters as it hunted small aquatic life. And a crocodile lay motionless, as good as being dead, on the sandbank.
I headed back north in the late afternoon to Banyini where a troop of baboons had come to drink and take advantage for the green flush that the pan continued to provide, as long as it had water.

Hmmm. Far away, in outer Texas, lost the audio after “long tail dragging in the mud,” and video got to be like a Klee painting near the end. Is this just my fate, or has it happened to anyone else?
What species is the dove drinking at the first of the video?
b.
p.s. Hard to believe it is cold there, as it is Frysville here now.
Happened to me, too, Bonny. I live in British Columbia, Canada.
Yep, everything froze after Kim said “ground”.
It looks like a ring-necked dove.
Hope the vid gets fixed as I had the same problem. Computers always seem to know to screw up.
The video got stuck here in North Carolina too!
Poo, just when it was getting interesting!
Rats, I guess they need to fix the video. I hope there is some footage of the hyenas. They’re so cute!
Hope all working now. Was some error during the conversion. Whatever that may mean. i’m no techno wizz!
Yay! It’s working now. Poor mama baboon!
Hurrah! It is working just fine now. As for no techno whiz, am most definitely in the same boat, was a brontosarus (and they aren’t even named that anymore) until Africam. Learned lots there, just for wanting to see, and found out I had learned chatese while hubband, resident puter whiz, couldn’t translate!
