Just catching up Doogs after the Pub duty. Lovely pics of the Cheetahs in the first link. I wonder with those Vultures around if they had made a kill, and lost it. The Hippo lying underneath the bank, looks as though he's having a lovely dream Very Happy

. Great Owl, and sunset shots as well. Love the Bat Eared Foxs, and the Male lion wrinkly nose shots on the second link

We had a tremendous hailstorm last month, which stripped the leaves off the trees. The next morning John photographed this rather bemused Tree Hyrax crossing the car park at reception at Governors Camp. There were a pair of them – moving house!

Oh no poor little things, they really are so wonderful looking, I hope they found a new tree

Thanks Doogs.

**whitestarling** Thu Mar 21, 2013 11:26 pm

Great photos of the Cheetahs, and their Cubs love the comments he put on about them climbing the tree. i think the sunrise one with the Cranes is a cracker. Lovelt to see Seina's Cub. I bet the Hyrax wondered what had gone on, but at least they survived
Thanks Doogs

A group of Paradise Pride females started hunting. As this was happening, charging over the hill came a lone buffalo being chased by a pack of Hyenas. As they took it down the Lions turned their attention to the buffalo, and the struggle to kill it went on for over an hour. Eventually the buffalo was killed, but neither party of animals wanted to leave the kill, nor did the 4 lions want to take on the Hyenas and likewise the Hyenas take on the Lions. Intead the 4 female lions took to one side of the buffalo, while some 20 hyenas to the other. Both groups made enough noise to be heard all over the reserve, and as a result more Hyenas came. Still the Lions would not move, and frequently swiped at the Hyenas to keep them at bay.

Love that 3rd shot of I presume Scar, and Sienna in the first post Doogs, really brilliant how Scars mane is blowing in the wind.
WOW

Thats some stand off 4 Lioness's against 20 Hyena. With that many against them, you would have thought they would have backed off.

**Laikipia** Wed Mar 27, 2013 9:22 am

Oh

that would have been amazing to see. Great photos and what a stand off.

Thanks Doogs.
