The Week In Pictures #623 – Londolozi Blog
[ad_1]
And so another week passes us by, one of only roughly four thousand that we get to experience in this life! This Week in Pictures is a reminder of the fragility of life, and as such we must strive to make the most of this one go (depending on your point of view) that we have at it. This week, the Nkuwa female took down an impala yearling right before our eyes. At another point we found the Ntsevu males and their sister feasting on the remains of a giraffe calf that, based on the size of the legs, could only have been a few days old at most. The Senegal Bush male stashed another impala kill in a Marula tree and showed off that most imposing stare of his. The Ndhzenga males and Ntsevu females and cubs feasted on the remains of an elephant that they had found that had perished of natural causes but moved off after about 3 days, the meat just being too tough even for these brutes.
Amongst it all we have a very relaxed giraffe, a posing purple roller, a few more leopards, a curious baby monkey that almost climbed into our landrover, mating lions and more!
Let me know your favourites in the comments section below.
Enjoy This Week in Pictures…
