somber moment of contemplation when this elephant approaches us so closely, so intimately. will they survive poaching? there is already enough pressure on the population from loss of habitat. but poaching is the clear and present danger we must overcome. but how?
A cheetah mom (right) and two yearling cubs spend some time modeling for our cameras. the fastest mammal on earth, they spend mid-day resting in shady spots.
these common zebras move through the tall grass and i struggle to compose them properly. as bold as the pattern of zebras is to us, they actually do blend in quite nicely in high grass such as this. the herd was hundreds strong, and they slowly picked their way toward us, motionless with cameras ready.
