Bush walk; taken a few minutes before our group was, er, charged by four white rhino. (Cue shouts of "Get behind a tree - NOW" from the guides). Very big, rhino: you feel the earth shake as they run towards you.
The young bush crickets fell out of a bush I was trimming back. Obviously not impressed he waved one antenna threateningly whilst watching me intently.

Bush Dog
Speothos venaticus
Bush dogs are found in the Amazon basin and other parts of South America living in social groups of up to 12 individuals. Considered a cooperative canid, they sleep close to each other, feed without fighting and follow each other around their habitat.
Bush dogs hunt in packs chasing their prey into nearby water sources and towards other waiting pack members. They may be small at 25-30cm tall, but work together using their combined weight to bring down prey with their sharp incisors and strong molars.
Their fur is thick, soft and reddish brown but pups are darker to help camouflage them from predators. Packs consist of a single mating pair that breed whilst the remaining adults support the rearing of up to 6 pups at a time.
They are perfectly adapted for swimming with partially webbed feet which also stop them sinking in mud. You might hear them making some strange calling noises too, as they can be quite vocal when
they feel like it, even if they are shy! It’s one of their ways of communicating with each other and warning each other of danger.
Bush dogs are also known as vinegar dogs as their scent glands emit as smell likened to vinegar!
The bush dog (Speothos venaticus) is a canid found in Central and South America.
Bush dogs are diurnal (active during the day) and take shelter in logs or burrows created by other animals. Hunting as a pack helps these relatively small canines to bring down larger prey.

Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Delta BC, Canada
Having a little fun with the multiple shots I took of this photogenic trolley bus. I think the pano emphasises the length of the beast and the anomaly of finding such an apparition in the desert. Compare to the straightforward shot below.

Novotel Rockford, Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia.
This was on the Palm Cove golf course ... I think this was part of our hotel ... but I never saw it being used.
It was a lovely place to walk, and see interesting wildlife, although I was a bit wary of that too!
The bush stone-curlew or bush thick-knee, also known as the Iben bird (Burhinus grallarius, obsolete name Burhinus magnirostris) is a large, ground-dwelling bird endemic to Australia. Its favoured habitat is open plains and woodlands, where it stalks slowly at night in search of invertebrates such as insects. Its grey-brown colouration is distinguished by dark streaks, its eyes are large and legs are long. It is capable of flight, but relies on the camouflage of its plumage to evade detection during the day; the bush curlew adopts a rigid posture when it becomes aware of an observer. Both sexes care for two eggs laid on the bare ground, usually sited near bush in a shaded position or next to a fallen branch.

(Humourous contributions welcome, but to be serious for a second...I'm not a US citizen, hence couldn't vote, but friends of my friends are dying for his lies, so I turn my back on Bush)
