On Safari




We came back from our safari (and now we are in London) with lots of pictures of animals in our heads. A majestic lioness, straight faced Ugandan cob, playful baboons, sleepy crocodiles, running hippos, antelope, buffalo, long-necked giraffes. The lioness was amazing and the most exciting thing we saw. She was definatly Queen over the animals in this area of the park and her subjects made pretty good meals I think. The giraffes were also interesting. Older ones, younger ones, and middle aged ones. You can tell by the colour of their spots. If they are lighter they are younger. If they are darker they are older. We saw one giraffe that had a skin disease that was from flies. WSe saw a few elephants in the distance and that was a slight disapiontment to me because it is one of my favourite animals. One thing I didn't metion above was the worthogs. They were very funny and we saw many. They all kneel down on their front legs to eat food off the ground (grass). Birds come and sit down on their backs and when the grasshopers jump up they catch them in their mouths. In one of the pictures their is something else there, not only a lion but an antilope.
