 In this tall grass are lots of wildlife. Do you see any? If not, we better head to where there's shorter grass! |
 The tall dry grass has been burnt here, and new green grass has begun to grow. |
 Two ostriches. I want to see one run as they can go up to 44mph! |
 A topi in the foreground, and a herd of elands in the background. Elands are Africa's largest antelope, and they are very shy. This is the only picture I got of them as they would take off when they see you! |
 A topi standing on a termite mound. He's the lookout. He's watching for hyenas and lions, as these predators like the taste of topi meat. |
 A pack of hyenas. The topi does have a reason to worry! |
 A pride of four lions. Another reason for the topi to be concerned! |
 This lion isn't very old. Maybe he just took over this pride. If he did, then he would have killed all the cubs to send the females into estrus. |
 They look very relaxed but alert. They're scoping out all the many herds of wildlife to chose what to have for dinner! |
 Did you know that they will follow vultures to kills? What other animals do they scavenge from? Check "Animal Facts" to find out. |
 Lions breed two to three times per hour for two to six days. Each encounter lasts less than a minute. |
 A lone wildebeest. They are nomadic grazers that constantly move in search of short green grass and water. |
 The wildebeest is watching two topis butt heads. |
 Another lion looking at all her wildlife choices atop this big hill. |
