| The first exciting wildlife I encountered were the baboons on Du Toits Kloof. |
|
|
| Baboons at the Cape of Good Hope can be aggressive. Luckily these two are preoccupied. |
|
|
| OK, it's an animal--but I liked this photo of a bug on Eucomis regia. |
|
|
| At Inverdoorn, the big cats are segregated from other animals. Two females, one male. |
|
|
| Cheetahs are amazingly camouflaged. |
|
|
| ...this fellow grows tired of having his photo taken. |
|
|
| A giraffe grazing on thorny Acacia karoo. I learned that giraffes are ruminants, like cattle. |
|
|
| A pregnant female giraffe. |
|
|
| An old male giraffe. I learned that males are darker in color than females. |
|
|
| I thought these eucalypts were trimmed rather evenly. This is as high up as the giraffes can reach! |
|
|
| There are many, many types of African antelope. These are blesbok. |
|
|
| The wildebeests look grumpy. |
|
|
| A tortise beside our Range Rover. |
|
|
| A small group of zebras include a stallion, with females and youngsters. |
|
|
| The stallion stood between us and the other zebras, and kept a sharp eye on us. He was beautiful! |
|
|
| A BIG baby zebra nursing. |
|
|
| Our last animal sighting of the day--two white rhinos snoozing. |
|
|
| A closeup of one of the rhinos. |

I'll be posting links to books about South African animals soon!
