To have a buffalo rear up out of long grass when you are on a foot safari is the stuff of nightmares

they rarely scavenge and avoid contact with larger predators wherever possible

Want to add a splash of color to your home

their coat of spots and rosettes merging with the sunlight and shadows to make them invisible

fishes and insects at the water’s edge

horns and hooves

The bond between litter-mates is very strong

Zebras live in the moment

Storms like this create a dramatic backdrop to the grasslands

We need to be more like leopards who have perfected the art of chilling out in the most challenging of locations

reassured by the presence of the adults and in particular the pride males

courageous warriors who must fight to establish themselves as pride males and earn the right to breed
