Yes, there are and we normally see lots of ellies, so it was very strange to only see one. -O-

That was it for our first drive. We contemplated doing an early morning drive the next day, but all decided we'd rather sleep in :yes: , so we only went into the park at about 3.30 pm.

Some dung beetles to get the ball rolling. ;-)

The dung beetles must have had an organism when the big herbivores returned there after years of only buck etc! lol O\/
