Some interaction between the bulls

Image

Image

Image

Image

They try to impress eachother with display raising his white dorsal crest, but are largely ignored by the other bulls

Image

and move on lol to find another one who would respond with submissive posture

Image


They are a peaceful bunch of males, not barking, not fighting, just doing their posing and don't get angry when they fail, very unmacho ^Q^

A quick stopover at the camp for a shower.

Tembe sky is blue by now :-0

The orange pulp of the toad tree fruit is a welcome snack before I'll have a look at Mahlasela Hide. Haven't been there and it's the third day at Tembe already 0*\

Somewhat sour this fruit, Lis - or refreshing :-) similar to Monkey orange ;-)

There are also Impala, but much more Nyala :yes:
