I wonder why black-shouldered kites always find such awkward places to rest :-?

It really looks as if Aardlam is bowing before her king lol

The tall white squills make a nice scenic touch to the pics \O

The warty has quite a pair of tusks :shock:

The lioness seems to have a weird tail end colour? :shock:

Are the squills indigenous? O-/

Fascinating, this! X#X

Not sure if you mentioned it on the Addo Sightings thread before... but who did Mel Gibson fight with that they both sport scars in their faces like that?
4 years ago they were like teenagers without any flaws and these days they are really majestic and very male. lol

NIce tusker shot!!! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ And you always have to stop for black shouldered kites. O\/


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Yes the restaurant timing wasn't my idea but there were some family politics which I didn't want to get involved in 0*\ 0*\ O**
The lions are normally named after park staff - though the original ones brought from the KTP were generally named after places/waterholes there \O

You're right - the BSKs do tend to find interesting perches lol

Yes, Aardlam is quite easy to identify due to the white tip to her tail. I presume she lost the end of it at some early stage of her life as it's always been like that :yes:
I'm not entirely sure whether the squill is indigenous. You get it up in some places in Zim, so perhaps it is -O-

Mel & Gibson got the scars mainly from each other lol
They were scrapping earlier this year with Norman & Zwaai, but most of the recent scratches are from fights with each other over mating rights with Aardlam \O
