Overwhelmed with Kgalagadi

[pedro maia]

Two of them got engaed in a fight, although not too serious

Then four

And then it looked like wildebeest wrestlemania

[pedro maia]

It was fun to watch, as I said it didn´t seem to be too serious and none of them seemed to get hurt, but it was a good momment of the drive.

After we left the wrestling wildebeest we kept driving along the Auob until we saw this meerkat, one of my favourites animals which we had only seen from quite a distance in the sunset drive we took the day before.
I really love this image of the lone meerkat on the river bed, it´s the kind of image I had in my head as been quintessential Kgalagadi without having been there any time before.

Of course that meerkat wasn´t alone, there was the rest of the gang and they were really close to the road, we got a good position and stayed with them for a good while watching this awesome creature while my daughter took the pictures, and it was really hard to choose so prepare for a "massacre"

How I love those little fellows

For once the wildebeests are not walking in a long row in what seems in their sleep

Amazing meerkat shots, Pedro,

and I also love the springbuck close ups and the kudus

Thanks for reposting, Pedro...Good AW Man!


Remarkable meerkat studies indeed, they are very photogenic!

Thank you from me too

Quite some action in the desert with the wildebeests

But your meerkat sighting is totally awesome and I love the lone one with the vast landscape around it
(So does RP it seems )
