Ruaha park, wildlife

 

I’m always fascinated by the shiny feathers. Here is a Haddada ibis.

 

Tree killers…sadly elephants can trash an area when they are too numerous for the tree population. The bark is peeled off for food and moisture. The tree doesn’t always survive the wound.

 

Funny to be at the same height of a giraffe.

 

 

Ox peckers cleaning ticks.

 

Hippos are very territorial. Spraying their feces by flapping their tails mark their territories. The rhythmic sighting is always hilarious.

 

A hippo rolling in the river. The pink color is quite common with hippos.
