with Mahale and the Selous, Katavi was nearly home for about 3 years. I had spent more time in those places than in Arusha. The camps were great, the scenery and wildlife were breathtaking and various, as was the flying around. If no one is jealous about this, I suggest sterilization right away to prevent that defective gene pool from surviving…
this beautiful bird is a grey heron ( un héron cendré) on a river bank.
stealthy crocodile in black mud.
basking in the sun, crocodiles show as much energy as a teenager in front of a television…though the croc’s brain is more alert I bet.
but once the hydraulics are high up, crocs are fast.
an African fish eagle, nicknamed the voice of Africa. (un pygargue à tête blanche ou pygargue vocifère). Its call is indeed a nice little melody that can’t be mistaken. The US bald eagle looks a bit familiar.
another big bird, 142 cm high, a female saddle-billed stork (un jabiru d’Afrique). The male has black eyes.
always a cute show: a giraffe drinking. It doesn’t look very comfortable to spread legs like that.
the brown stuff all around that hippo is faeces…
I thought of a forest in Belgium with some aliens…
topis (des damalisques) with a bit of mist.
