Sri Lanka's Big Five - Blue Whale, Asian Elephant, Sperm Whale, Leopard and Sloth Bear.
Outside the continent of Africa, the tiny island of Sri Lanka is the next best for Big Game Safaris.

African Cape Buffalo (female). 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.

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.

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.
This is a single Rhino, an old guy, but don't mess with him - bigger than a Nissan Micra or maybe a Polo but with a massive sharp horn!
These guys are pretty blind and rely on their trumpet like ears, which act independently, so they can listen in more than one direction.
The overcast day provided some nice contrasty shots - I did consider B&W but prefered the texture and skin colour in this one.
That's pretty much it for the animal shots, I have one or two other Lion ones to show but they need some 'work'!
Then we can get off the coast down south on our way to Cape Town.
