Mammals: Interesting or Unusual Behaviour

Poor thing!

Would a bushy jackal tail really become THAT stick thin with mange?
Head and ears I'd buy the jackal though

Mel, we've just had our dogs shaved, and their normally fluffy tails look almost as thin as that.

Okay

(I just lacked the imagination that it could be like that )

This is unique Kruger footage, as a mating pair is involved, and it shows how frustrated the lion is! (They get hungry and obsessed waiting for the female to get ready to mate again! )

Lucky their window was closed!

a) That is an exceptionally handsome male
b) How on earth did the guy in the car manage not to flinch even the tiniest bit

We'll bet you a pretty high wager that you've never seen a lion riding a hippo through the Delta before. This was an incredible sighting that two of our guests and pilot Tom Cunningham got to experience last week. Something we're sure they will all remember for a very long time!

I think the hippo is most probably dead, but it's nicer to think of the lion getting a ride!

Yeahh....... one should not try to associate animal behaviour with that of humans
