The unusual Tail

March 23rd, 2010, posted in Wildlife

What’s unusual about this Tail? Well, it’s short…

“ The one that got away” becomes the talking point of an open-landrover, wildlife safari, the question asked on a game walk “What happened to that Zebra’s tail?”

It is in these moments that the field guide or game ranger must decide to tell the truth or make up a story to entertain the guests.

I don’t know why this Zebra has a stump tail, I would guess it escaped some sort of attack, but I had no one to ask, perhaps it lost the remainder due to an infection, the possibilities are endless and though this animal species is often seen on the African Plains, I decided to dedicate this blog post to the Zebra with almost no tail making it an unusual sighting, even though the zebra is a common sighting!

checking up on pregnant cheetah

October 16th, 2009, posted in Wildlife

As you know cheetahs are very special and when it’s a pregnant cheetah, well, that’s even better! This morning’s game walk was more of a mission to locate her and make sure all is well! Not only was the weather perfect and a slight breeze blowing in our favour but the air was clear so we could see for miles and we found some Hyena tracks too!
