African Cape Buffalo (male). The African Cape Buffalo is considered the most dangerous animal in Africa, and is often referred to as "the Black Death." Cape Buffalo are one of "The Big Five," the five animals considered the most dangerous and difficult to hunt. The others are the elephant, rhino, lion and leopard.
So sad to see such a wonderful creature stripped of its natural beauty, but better to lose part of a horn than its whole life...
This is the most interesting animal I photographed. He's a dominant male lion. He is part of a coalition of six males that pretty much rule the Kruger park. It's very unusal for so many males to band together. The coalition, as its called, is slaughtering many of the other males in the park.

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.
Because California, especially Los Angeles, was expecting tourists during the winter, Hawaii's tourism industry convinced them to travel further west to Hawaii.
Honolulu businessmen paid Walter C. Weeden $600, so the marketer gave lecture tours and a "magic lantern" show for six months. In each show, Weeden showed tinted scenes of Hawaii to packed houses on the West Coast. He said, "At every point I go, I find people ready and eager to learn more of Hawaii."

We watched this pair "go at it" for about 20 minutes. They get on for about 10 seconds, lounge around for about 5 minutes and do it again. They will do it over 70 times before conception.
During our first white rhino sighting in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, we encountered three rhino which had just emerged from a mud bath, and were heading down to the dry riverbed.
Anticipating their direction, we followed them and got ahead so that we could see them cross.

A male leopard rests in the Serengeti grasses just before sundown. He bears the scars of battles won and lost. At first, he seems to be simply resting and tending to his hygiene. On closer inspections we see him cleaning a recent wound. It's not a fatal wound. Probably no more than a scratch for him, likely caused by the claws or teeth of a rival male or perhaps the antlers of today's top menu choice. It's not his first injury and it won't be his last. The big cats of the Serengeti are no strangers to injury. They are amazingly capable of tending to their own wounds because even a minor wound, if not tended to appropriately, could become life threatening. #ILoveWildlife #ILoveNature #ILoveCats #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #Nature on the #Serengeti #Animals of #Africa #cats #BigCats #BigFive #Leopards
White Rhino at a watering hole. White and Black Rhino are both the same color. The names are misnomers. There are two species of rhinos. One species are grazers that eat grasses and ground plants. The other are browsers that eat leaves from trees and bushes. The grazers have a broad face with a wide mouth to take in as much grass as possible.The browsers have a narrow pointed face in order to reach between the branches of bushes to get to the leaves. The name given to the grazers, White Rhino, is actually a corruption of the Dutch word for "wide." To distinguish the two, the browser species became known as Black Rhinos.
