There is a small animal to the left in front of the baboons, maybe a jackal

[Pumbaa]

Indeed incredibly dry, Richprins,

but as already said - the waterholes do atract a lot of animals then

Aha...but where?

[Lisbeth]

It is written

[Mel]

I'll go for spotted hyena in the ellie photo - way back underneath a bush/tree in the second row, centre-right.

And it is a great photo anyway. The SO had looked over my shoulder and was slightly confused about the ellie in the red sand dunes

[Richprins]

Lis was right...a jakkalas there!

Northward!


And suddenly the most remarkable contrast....the lush river of the Olifants. Kruger's biggest...

[Richprins]

We were quite overwhelmed, I must say, and got out and shut the Marelize up for quite a while, each absorbed in his or her own thoughts...

This bleddie bird was not working with the camera!

[Richprins]

I saw Frewells taking pictures and surreptitiously went over to see how...



Frew: "Ow! Stop shoving!"

RP: "No YOU are a copycat!! "

Frew: " Look, the reflection..."

RP: "That's nothing! Check this move! Straight into the sun! "

RP: "Ok...can someone lead me to the car... "



Q: What was the greatest damage inflicted in the Olifants River area of Kruger during the 2000 floods?

[Lisbeth]

What a lot of different colours in pics of the same river taken the same day (I trust?) and what a lot of different animals. In one I can see elephant, impala and hippo and most likely there are others

The third time was the good time At least the bad shot shows which kind of starling it is

[Alf]

Me thinks Letaba river is the biggest and inflicted the worst damage in the 2000 floods
