In the Amboseli

The Amboseli National Park in Kenya is famous 

for its multitude and plentitude of Wildlife.

Here are just a few of the images I caught 

during one afternoon and evening:

Some interesting observations may be made from this picture:

Impala grazing quietly in the evening sun, 

while an Elephant strolls by.

If there were a human, much much smaller than this Elephant, 

anywhere near these grazing Impala, 

they'd be gone in a  panicky flash.

There is, of course, a good reason for this different behavior.

Also, look at the shadow the Elephant's ear throws on his/her side.

Looks a little like a map of Africa. Doesn't it?

A "Rock Hyrax"

about the size of a good-sized rabbit,

it is said to be the closest relative to.... you won't believe this,... the Elephant.

!

The structure of its nose is very similar to the undeveloped trunk of an Ele,

So are its feet and toes

as well as the inner structure of its sexual organs resemble those of its relative:

The Elephant.

If you don't believe me, look it up.

One of the smallest Antelopes:

The Dick-Dick.

( if I now told you that the Dick-Dick is the closest relative to

the Cape Buffalo, you would do right not to believe me.)

The male Ostrich

keeps a close watch over everything that moves.

At about 5'8" I am dwarfed by this Termite Mound!

"Bat-eared Foxes" have such keen hearing, 

(no wonder with the size of their ears!)

that they can hear an insect or a worm 

crawling around underground.

Digging it up and devouring it is the easy part.
