Two lionesses had been hanging around a particular stretch of river for a couple of days and not having much hunting success. Eventually one afternoon, they managed to kill a male Waterbuck which would have sustained them for a couple of days. However, as darkness [...]
....it's tiring for a lioness. Hardly surprising though, as this lioness had a very busy day. Early in the morning, she was lying out on the grass with the rest of the pride, when she spotted a group of Puku coming out onto the grass [...]
Not many people's favourites but nevertheless an important member of the bush - Vultures are doing very well at this time of year because many of the large herbivores are struggling to find food, and the weakest are dying off. This White-backed Vulture's crop was [...]
