A scoop of pelican at dawn



Matutinal courtship...



... playing hard to get... or not ready yet !













Those hippo incisor can cause horrible wounds ...

... this large gash looks like a Tessier Cleft 7 !



A crash of hippo looking at us !





The Go-away bird ! I love that name !


Note how some areas have tall grasses while others are rather bare

The unicorn Steenbok !

This hippo has an ugly festering mid flank injury and another that narrowly missed his left eye


A dead giraffe... cause unknown but not a predator since it is not eaten

White-backed vulture












Wattled cranes




Help! I could not identify this bird !



The Wattled cranes in front of a "Sleepopotamus". He was not dead as he occasionally blinked his eyes, but he was very still :(

Sacred Ibis because it was the bird of the Egyptian god Thoth (the god of wisdom, reason, truth, knowledge, learning, study, writing and mathematics !!! Pfeww what a good guy ! We should restart that god !)

Help ! Another I could not identify !




The sandy path

A pretty bare patch


The Okavango slowly rising




Monitor lizard


No danger to the impala !
