tender loving care. These two pictures were were done on foot, not too far away from camp. As soon as Iheard a suspicious noise in camp, ’d jump out my tent or office or library (yep there was a wonderful library in camp) with my camera bag ready and follow the intruder. I thought I could always run back a few hundred meters to the safety of the Chada camp if things got ugly. Mom, too late to slap me.
this eagle was struggling to handle its heavy prey, maybe an Egyptian goose. It couldn’t really take off with it.
here the goose size is easier to compare with the eagle.
examples of cohabitation between a croc and a hippo. Since they don’t share the same diet, there is no need to fight. When water gets scarce, the crocs move away from the hippos. They don’t want to share a pool of shitty mud.
whereas the hippos and the crocs ignore each other, zebras, wildebeests, topis or other gazelles can be seen walking together, like sharing the same life.
a herd of topis (damalisques en français), an animal that was an easy target for bloody hunters as the animal like to stand on a higher ground to observe around. So it was an easy target to spot with a sky in the backdrop.
