Nice baffalo kill!
Lots of big warties!
They are a bit skinny with the drought...
Ok, presumably you saw lots on the sunset drive too?

You mostly use the word "ivory" talking about elephant tusks, but basically all teeth and tusks are made of the same stuff

Sort of, nana! They are teeth (dentine), same with hippo teeth, but much thinner. Poachers sometimes try to sell hippo teeth as ivory!

Sunset drive Day 3:
We started the drive exactly at 16:30 as planned

, the truck was half full with some Italians, Dutch, Americans and us
First stop was Sunset dam
Then 2kms later......Cheetah, it was trying to catch a young Kudu but it got away
Sunset in Kruger
Then our Leopard
A ellie munching away......photo a bit dark because of fading light
Then on our way back......3 male Lions napping in the road
Not more than 3 kms further another 2 Males
On this trip we saw.......1 Cheetah, 1 Leopard, lots of Ellies, a Hyena, a Civet(too dark and too far for a photo)5 male Lions, Shrub hares, Baboons, Crocodiles, some birds and lots of Impalas, Kudus and Buffalo
So do you agree it was a awesome drive
Next day 4.......driving to Satara
