I had just taken off and was only meters off the ground when my goggles totally fogged up. The warm moist upper air reacting with my cold goggles had them misting up. I had to take them off for a few minutes while everything adjusted to the warm upper air.
And below the mist lay thick across the bushveld, initially making ground visibility almost zero. But it didn’t last long.
Again I didn’t pick up any sign of the wild dogs. I’m beginning to wonder if they haven’t moved further a field.
I was at Hwata pan in the heat of the day where the elephant bulls were again hogging the clean water. I was there for a couple of hours and the bulls were there all that time. None of them having moved off but others came in.
Then a cow herd arrived. They came in at such pace, at first I thought they were being chased. But they were just desperate to cool off. They had no intentions of drinking and especially not waiting for the bulls to clear off.
At the hyaena den at sunset were just the 2 young cubs. They seemed a little lonely, obviously waiting for others to provide some fun. Instead they came to check out the vehicle coming right up to it. The closer they get, the cuter they get!
I left them waiting for mom.
Ok, so I know that this is probably not the correct post to ask you about this, but oh well. I want to purchase a set of Merrells. Now, I personally wanted some ankle support, but the mid height ones seem to go really high and limit your movement. Any suggestions?
I noticed that one of the calves already had tusks erupting. How old are they when the tusks first become visible? Do bull calves’ tusks grow faster than cow calves’?
Those little guys have learned how to use their trunks very well.
Merrells??? What would that be? Only meryl, I know is a Streep.
Eve. Tusks start showing at about 18months. Bulls calves grow faster.
