After entering Botswana, I have done nothing but see loads of amazing animals in Etosha National Park, the Okavanga Delta and in Chobe! So instead of trying to split up these posts - I am just going to make this a big post of animal lovin' - the non-eating kind!
The first lesson from the bush - elephants make absolutely NO noise while walking and they camouflage surprisingly well! One moment you are alone, one moment there is a bull elephant in full musk only meters away. And they are huge and surprisingly not so welcoming!
Happy Hour at the watering hole.
Africa's number 1 killer's butt. Ha Ha.
These ones were only about 9 feet long - big enough to see from a few feet away and thankfully not as long as some can be - up to 15 feet.
A happy looking water buffalo.
Pumba the warthog!
The rare black rhino - only 2,700 of these bad boys left in the world.
The mighty and somewhat unattractive wildebeest.
Thousands of Spring Bok - well loved by meat eaters and South Africa rugby fans alike.
A jackal, begging for some table scraps, much like Spot.
Baby elephants are the cutest!!! A very old bull elephant.
The Tijuana painted donkey. Who knew these lived in Africa too?
And one of my personal favorite, Toys-R-Us rep, Geoffry.
please see about getting a picture of the honey badger, the most brave of all the animals!
