 Two males. They are young as they are still growing manes. |
 Roar! He can be heard as far as five miles away by other lions. This male is about twelve years old. |
 Doesn't its shaggy mane make it look so cute? He's about two years old, and he'll soon be ousted from the pride. |
 These two females are part of the pride that were lying in the tall grass. What's a lioness' major rule in the pride besides having cubs? Better check "Animal Facts!" |
 Topis butting heads. They are easy to pick out by their violet patches on their rear thighs, front legs, and faces. |
 Gazelles. They're easy to see with their black bands on their flanks. I'll always remember that gazelles have "happy" tails as they wag them feverishly when they see you! |
 A lioness with a impala kill. Our driver said she most likely stole this kill from a cheetah. |
 Yum! As Jeff Corwin says, "It's raw and it's ugly. But it's real and it's Africa!" |
 A black-backed jackal. They're very cute animals, and to me they look like a cross between a dog and a fox. |
 A pack of jackals waiting out their turn. A flock of vultures were close by, too. |
