 Don't you love their mohawk hair? These cubs will leave their mother at around eighteen months to two years. |
 One word: AWESOME. |
 Here she is leaving her cubs to hunt. They really wanted to come, but she's left them in a safe hidden spot. |
 Above the middle impala to the left you can see a dot. That's the cheetah slowing making her way closer to this herd. |
 Here she goes with all her mighty 70 mph speed to hopefully get this impala. Go girl! |
 She wasn't close enough when she started. She was out of breath now -- she sounded like me with my asthma as I hiked the mountain gorillas in Uganda! |
 Two Masai giraffes. They spend most of their day chewing their cud. |
 Up to this point, I've never seen a giraffe sit down. It must feel very comfortable as this would be an easy catch for a lion. Hummmm.... |
 Two giraffes necking near a herd of zebras. Why do they neck? Check out the answer on "Animal Facts." |
 An olive baboon. I'm going to get a picture of you one of these days! When we saw them, they were always near the same place -- just past the Mara River crossing. |
