Africa Wild

I will start to post some of the pics of my November trip during the next weeks here.
The first pic shows an animal that I never expected to find in Kruger: a crab I saw this specimen walking a few km 's outside Pretoriuskop but I have no idea why he was there or where he was coming from...

maybe from the restaurant

nice and unexpected

Nice one FC -

Hello, fc!

Most freshwater bodies here have crabs, a constant irritation for fishermen!

(Hope that came out right...)

As with many amphibious inhabitants, they may move to replenished pans/streams after rains!

I decided to start a new thread to report about the best sightings of my last November trip.
Thank you Richprins for your infos about the crab, I didn't know that before and was very surprised about this sighting.

For today I have a pic of a Ground Hornbill that was resting on top of a dead tree in the middle of a rainy day. Unfortunetely I didn't see many of them this time.

Lovely pic FC!! Looking forward to the rest of your special moments.

Interesting sighting fc!

Nice, fc, and thanks!


The hornbill is hanging its white primaries out to dry a bit...in fact they make a great pic when in flight, which is not often!

Wonder why they are white? Maybe some alarm thing?

Now for a pic of dup!

This sounds intriguing!

Crab? This must be a VERY spectacular sight in KNP?
Interesting!
