On our way back up, there was another eland - also on top of the dunes.

Returning to the lions, we were surprised to find that we were the only car. The others had probably all heard about our leopards yesterday and were in hot pursuit of them lol

Unfortunately for my photo count, close-up lions are always a nice photo opportunity too -O-

:shock: :shock: Coming up to speed, here :o0ps: - yep, kudus and elands were more abundant than ever before and we, too, enjoyed seeing them. How handsome is NKosana!! What a brute O\/ O\/ And then, drum roll...yet another great leopard sighting : O/\

It's always special to see lions at night, and are another wonderful excuse for "we" Germans to go wild X#X X#X X#X ;-) I like the Rocky Balboa male lion - boy, must he have tales to tell. :yes: :yes:

I love any Meerkat sighting ^Q^ ^Q^ , (especially now, as we just adopted a stray from the Puerto Rican hurricane rescue missions and we SWEAR she's half Chihuahua, half Meerkat.)
O/\
Lastly, your Snake Eagle pic is perfect, and I can't forget to give Hanri a 0/0 vicariously.

:twisted:

I did not know that there are meerkats in Pueto Rico :shock: Are they living in family groups like the African ones?

You must get another three or five O**
