 Two balloons taking off. See the two dots above the tree line? These two hour balloon safaris cost about $400 per person. Ouch! |
 A pride of four lions having a lazy morning. This driver doesn't get as close. |
 These lions must be brothers as two large males aren't usually found in one pride. |
 This is my favorite lion picture of them all! |
 Mary the rhino. Her horn is made out of solid keratin, the same substance as human toenails! |
 She looks pretty determined. Rhinos have terrible eyesight. So if she gets confused, she'll charge us -- so watch out! |
 What do rhinos eat? Who are their enemies? How do you tell the difference between a white and a black rhino? (It's not the color.) Check on "Animal Facts." |
 Off she goes! Since she is the only female in this pride, she's got a lot of hunting to do to keep her two men well fed. |
 Jeff and the lion pride. Watch out Jeff -- a lion’s jaw can easily bite through muscle and bone, often leaving little more than the head and spine of their prey intact! |
 Two hippos fighting. One of them must be defending its territory. Do you know an easy way to tell the difference between a male and a female? Check "Animal Facts." |
 Hippo butt! They have such cute faces but their backsides need to see a stairmaster! |
 There are at least 25 hippos in this part of the Mara River. |
 Grey crowned cranes. Many cultures associate cranes with longevity and fidelity. Pairs stay together until one dies. Awwww... |
 Something has caught the attention of these lions. An early morning snack, perhaps? |
