 While in the duck blind, we saw a giant forest hog. Click on this picture to see just how ugly it really was! Very cool to watch, though. |
 These were some of the birds we watched. It was absolutely stunning to see! |
 On the hike back to the lodge, we saw these gigantic herons perched on the top of this tree. Wow. |
 On the day we left the park, we saw this large herd of elephants during the drive. See how they surround the baby elephant to protect it? |
 Off they go! What is the minimum number of hours that an elephant needs of sleep? Don't know? Better check out "Animal Facts!" |
 If you're out early enough, the reward is seeing hippos out of the water. I was so use to seeing them in the water, that they seemed weird looking out of the water. Shorter and rounder than I thought. |
 He doesn't want to be photographed, so he's moving on me. Did you know that hippos kill more humans in Africa than any other animal? Know why? Better read up on "Animal Facts!" |
 See the vervet monkey way up in the tree?! He was watching the hippo, thinking that they have ugly butts! |
 A little bit later, we saw another vervet monkey but it was on the ground. Don't you just want to take one home? So cute! |
 The Ugandan kob, and, yes, this is a postcard. I missed my opportunities to take pictures of them, so I resorted to buying a postcard. They are beautiful animals. |
 Okay, this is what a baboon looks like if it would stay still. Again, I had to resort to a postcard! |
 We are now in the south part of Queen Elizabeth Park. I literally had our driver stop the very minute we spotted a baboon! He said, no -- that he wanted to get closer. But by now I know they are so hard to photograph, I'll do anything to get a picture! |
 This is a very large troop of baboons! There's no dominant baboon that leads the troop, as the males will band together to defend the group. |
 These baboons were gone in a flash! You have to be ready at any moment to capture pictures of them. This troop is out foraging but for what, you ask? Better read up on "Animal Facts." |
