Some 2013 Pumbaa pics:

Pumbaa wrote: Sun Jul 07, 2013 1:36 pm Suddenly from everywhere there was also great volume of traffic and although a lot of cars drove around the rhinos we stayed where we were as the rhinos were blocking the road from both side

and to end finally between two of them as car sandwich was not the way we wanted to begin the day and moreover two bulls started a quarrel or at least did not like the presence of the other one that close.

Image

Finally they calmed down and each one returned to his side of the road and then struggled with a lot of highjackers invading the grey “bus”.

Image

Each time a car dared to slip through the gap and the rhinos gave them enough space they afterwards immediately took the same spot – as same must have been still a bit warm – and started to continue their nap.

Image

Especially the little ones between them were still extreme sleepy.

Image

Somehow the road has been cleared and we continued our way, stopped for a brown snake eagle – the light was still too bad due to the many clouds, and for another sleeping beauty in a tree.

Image

As bird especially owl lovers we could not drove on without stopping and at least taking a couple of pictures of this pink eyelid cutie. Pity was that this one was alone as I would have loved to hear the hippolike sound they make when communicating with each other again.
