Ather taking a mudbath. He shows us his broad lips.
"A popular theory of the origins of the name White Rhinoceros is a mistranslation from Dutch to English. The English word "white" in English is said to have been derived by mistranslation of the Dutch word "wijd", which means "wide" in English. The word "wide" refers to the width of the Rhinoceros mouth."
It was the first time I had seen such a huge size Lions in Nairobi National Park Kenya..I could not believe my eyes..seeing them very closely,they were huge and weird looking Young males..they were very well fed,pity they went behind this bush and slept until evening,I had to leave as the light was getting very low.
This is a small pride of lions. The one licking his lips is the dominant male. Oddly, his mane never grew. But just because he is missing that signature hair doesn't mean he's a small or inferior cat. He was substantial. the lioness on the left is pregnant.

A lioness from the Cheli Pride awaits the return of her cubs during a dramatic afternoon in the Mara, as she sits alone on an open patch of grass before a storm descends upon her.
One of the Cheli Pride lionesses was sitting in the grass on her own when we encountered her one afternoon.
Here she is, roaring for the rest of her pride to join her, as a rainstorm descends upon the Mara.

This black rhino is one of the few left in Africa-they are being poached to extinction for their horn, which is thought to have aphrodisiac properties, but is basically nothing more than fingernails. This rhino is protected by armed guard and electrified fence at a huge private ranch in Laikipia, but is still severely threatened.
How very sad.
South Africa.
Kruger Park.
The Elephant is the world's largest land mammal, and weighs up to 7 tonnes and reaches heights of 3.3 m at the shoulder. Elephants can live to a potential age of 70 years. The massive tusks of older bulls can weigh up to 50 or 60 kilograms, but tusks weighing up to 90 kilograms have been recorded.

African Lion (male). We encountered this young male lion just after he had been in a battle with another lion. There is still blood on his muzzle and chin, and his right ear has been mauled. Our guide Kenny said that he had probably been in a fight over females and that since he was alone, he had lost the fight.

Another one of the Big 5, this Cape buffalo was a little bit shy. We had some very good views of buffalo during the week, so more pics to come. I like the way the late afternoon light picks up the detail in the massive horns.
