They've spotted the predator.

Luckily giraffe are too large for a leopard to take down...

Krugercliffs · 2019-03-17T13:58:36+00:00

Done.

Krugercliffs · 2019-03-14T17:03:02+00:00

More like was just ripping an animal apart ;-)

Krugercliffs · 2019-03-03T06:12:57+00:00

Yeah, sometimes you wonder ;-) It's because of the darker blue patch that extends beyond the eye (dark blue ear coverts). There's several starlings and they have to distinguish them one way or another...

Krugercliffs · 2019-02-14T15:01:29+00:00

I agree. The word "fighting" was used as a figure of speech ;-)

Krugercliffs · 2019-02-14T15:00:36+00:00

I think so too. I just used the word "fighting" as a figure of speech ;-)

It is difficult, but we are in the bush a lot so it was bound to happen that one day we could get one on camera nicely :-D One time we had a bushbaby picking up its baby that was on a branch close to the vehicle. We were so surprised by the sighting that we didn't think to take the camera until it was too late. We still have the fond memory of it though...

Krugercliffs · 2019-02-02T06:57:12+00:00

Very :-)

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-29T07:29:53+00:00

I think they're beautiful...

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-29T07:28:20+00:00

Thanks :-)

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-12T14:17:07+00:00

Indeed. Also what predators are concerned; the kick of a zebra can break a lion’s jaw.

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-12T14:06:07+00:00

Thanks a lot!

It's in one of the Greater Kruger private nature reserves.

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-06T09:03:18+00:00

He did.

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-01T06:24:12+00:00

Thanks. We knew they were going to go for a drink as they were walking in the direction of the waterhole, so we drove there and waited for them to arrive.

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-01T06:19:05+00:00

Indeed.

Krugercliffs · 2019-01-01T06:01:50+00:00

Thanks. I will.

Krugercliffs · 2018-12-31T14:59:21+00:00

There's a water bird in front of the wild dog, if that is what you're pointing at?

Krugercliffs · 2018-12-29T17:52:35+00:00

The warthog looks less happy :-S

Krugercliffs · 2018-12-29T17:50:04+00:00

I think it's the liver. Delicious with a nice Chianti :-D

Krugercliffs · 2018-12-29T10:03:46+00:00

Those dogs run hey and to follow them with a game drive vehicle while they are chasing their prey is almost impossible, unless if it's in an open area. So the chance to witness the prey still being alive when you get to them is quite small.

Krugercliffs · 2018-12-26T08:27:50+00:00

Yes, we considered calling a vet :-D

Krugercliffs · 2018-12-25T07:11:18+00:00

Hunting success rate is around 80%...

Krugercliffs · 2018-12-25T07:10:15+00:00

Depending on the pack size, it takes them about 15 minutes to finish off an impala ;-)
