20250731 - Okavango Delta - 24551 (The population of wild dogs is decreasing to the point where they've been identified as endangered. The culprit is rabies, which the dogs are particularly susceptible to since they feed not only their young by regurgitating the food in their stomachs, but other adult dogs as well.)

20250803- Mashatu - 01924 (Not sure what's going on here. Someone in our group speculated that the baboon on the left was trying to steal the baby.)

20250804- Mashatu - AM - 03922 (This buck took a quick drink but didn't let any of the others approach the water. Then they all took off. Maybe he didn't think it was safe. Watering holes put the animals at their most vulnerable to predators.)

20250804- Mashatu - PM - 05007 (Sometimes adolescents need to be reminded of the pecking--and feeding--order. This one got the message pretty quickly and backed off.)

20250805- Mashatu - 07434 (When elephants sense danger they immediately surround the young members of the herd. It was amazing how fast this happened. We were already there when something alarmed them. After a minute they all relaxed and returned to what they were doing, which is mostly destroying trees as they eat the vegetation.)

20250805- Mashatu - 07856 (This leopard was considering making the porcupine in the hole (you can only see the quills) his next meal. He reached in and reconsidered when he either got a quill in his paw or could just tell it wouldn't be pleasant.)

20250805- Mashatu - 07868 (He'll need to find his next meal elsewhere.)
