Male Ostrich diplaying as she approaches his partner.Very awesome to watch this as it is very rare to see the action.
The female drops her wings too as the male approaches.Look at the differences in the colour of plumage.Males are more colourful.
Male getting too closer,the female has already postioned her self for an affair that lasts for about 2-3 minutes.
This is the action,the male keeps moving her neck and wings neck from side to side.The females enjoys the action without making any visible movement.
After the action,look at the male's penis,note-other birds have only cloaca for mating.They separeted after mating.
Lions are very clever in that when they go for toilets they move a fer metres from where the rest of the pride members are,and for this lioness she had no exception.
After realiving her self she walked back to where the pride members were.
Later on a male gave a visit to the lioness scat to smell so as to find her reproductive status.
Spotted hyena gave us a nice shot and i got her passport size photo,they are ugly by some people but this shot would tell you they are lovely.
Musiara marsh is home to elephants and this mother brought her calf here.From this tender age,the young one would have to learn the best places for feeding for one day she will lead her family,and they have to learn from the older members of the family.
Herd of elephants were grazing close to a dam and one of theirs came for a drink and in it were Hippos who they were watching at them.Hippos are vegetarians and they could not attack the fellow herbivores.
The Same herd of elephants who were with Hippos on the second photo above walked by these Giraffes,the evening light was so good for photography.Giraffes patterns differs alot even in thw same species.
These two male Giraffes were feeding on the edge of the bush,they were very keenly looking on the nearby thickets that we thought a leopard or a lion was hiding.Although,we did not spot either.
Lion cubs following their mothers is a regular exercise that they have to do,in order to learn on the basic survival skills in future when they will get to maturity.
This male Elephant was in musth-sexually active and we gave him a good distant for us to be on the safe flight angle.When they are in musth their mission is to find females to mate with and they are very aggressive.
Cheetahs are solitary cats,this female was looking for her meal when we spotted her.The grass was too short in at where she was and when she was walking all of the gazzelles in a distant fled.
Enjoying her meal,the pride had killed a wildbeest and because it was not enough for them,the above female got a leg of their prey.
She is the one that made the kill.And in the pride were cubs and two males who they all shared the meal peacefully,nobody was hungry since they have been killing on daily basis because of the huge migratory geme.
Males watching from few metres from the kill,mothers grooming each other and cubs feeding.What a happy family?
Cubs feeding from opposite angle.They at this time of migrations they are very healthy.
This is the group of Zebras that lost one of theirs to the lions.Although safe in numbers,lions are comouflaged in that Zebras would easily pick them in the grass,too lions sight in the night is better than the Zebras'.
The wattled plovers mobbed the Kori Bustard who was close to their nest.The plovers are so noisy in that they can chase human beings from their nests through annoying sounds.
Nile crocodiles with full bellies enjoying the afternoon sun in mara river,one on the furthest point with mouth opened is the feeling the warmth most and by opening the mouth she get cooled down.
Smile,a roar from this paradise male.H e has been mating for the last 3 days and he is getting exhausted.He has to go and find food for he has not been eating.
