Lai. I think Joanna Lumley is brilliant. She is so dedicated to the causes she supports.

Great clip Lai Thanks. I also think Joanna Lumley is fantastic. I know its not Animals, but her support for the Ghurkas who my Dad served with was brilliant, and it was mainly down to her that they got what the deserved

I so agree WS. My dad served with the Gurkhas in the war aged about 19 and so I support them in every way possible. Amazing soldiers.

Joanna Lumley did great things to help them and she's a real wildlife enthusiast too Group Hug

Thanks Lai, you both have quite a stash of these fab clips.

Alot of people are not as found of baboons as other animals, but I think they have a character all their own.

Two great clips and I respect both JL and DA. Loved the way they were eating flowers on their way through the water Very Happy

I enjoy finding them SM, sometimes I get a bit carried away with the 'Africa' theme.

Tomorrow's another day .................................... but of course WS might beat me to it Very Happy

A wonderful weekend smile WS. Echo was such a wonderful ele and to see little Ebony being born is magical. All the eles are so caring, it never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks WS.

I love how it is not the birth of a baby to a mother, but the birth of a new member of the family and herd. They all play a part trying to help her stand and protecting her from the predators starting to circle. She is soo sweet.

I didnt know they were related to dolphins What a Face

but they are fascinating and fast

Lai

Safari Maiden Mon Aug 08, 2011 10:23 am

Thanks for that Lai.

Doesnt Hippos have a higher percentage of killing humans than lions?

SM

**whitestarling** Mon Aug 08, 2011 10:29 am

Great clip Lai Todays Smile - Page 14 768480

Your right SM. The Hippo is responsible for killing more Humans than any other animal in Africa

WS

**Doogs** Mon Aug 08, 2011 10:30 pm

Catching up on smiles, brilliant of Echo & Ebony Elephant behind

Didn't know Hippo's were related to dolphins & Killer Whale

either, how bizarre !

Great shot of all the Hippo's underwater cheers

I know they've got huge mouths/teeth but it's hard to believe they are so dangerous, but they are affraid

**Laikipia** Tue Aug 09, 2011 12:57 pm

Lovely clip WS and what beautiful markings the pine marten had. I had really hoped to see some when we were in Scotland last year, and went to a cafe where they see them regularly and feed them, but sadly no luck.

Thanks WS
