Male elephant. When they flap their ears at you it is a warning you are annoying them. |
Hippos spend most of the day underwater but we did see a herd/pack/horde? of hippos crossing the river near the Hotel Protea around dusk. |
Wild dog eating breakfast. Impala. Yum.
Actually, this was a very rare sight because there are only 400 wild dogs left in Kruger. We came across this pack of 8 wild dogs tearing apart something (impala). Each ended up with a chunk and they all proceded to plop down in the shade and eat the entire chunk - bones and all.
We got a little too close to this one! |
More Rhinos. We saw black and white rhinos neither of which you can tell apart by color. The white rhinos have a square shaped lower jaw for eating grasses and the black rhino has V-shaped jaw for eating shrubs.
More to come later.
Do you know what they call Impala at Kruger? Cat food. |
