Hello again, I joined Steemit for posting my story puzzle/ Interactive Fantasy Story
..but many people are asking me for more travel photo's as well :) I've received some advice that I need to provide more explanations and more photos (and I will do my best).
Please keep in mind, as you appreciate these posts, that I am a bit of reserved person (lone wolf type), I'm not the best with sharing or jazzing up my experiences - with me it's authentic stuff!. I do like to help and answer people, so feel free to comment, provide advice etc. I'm doing this for the viewers/readers of Steemit after all, so please feel unrestricted to let me know what you think/feel and what you'd like from these travel posts and I'll do my best to accommodate.
The travel posts so far:
LordNigel's Travels - Animals of Madagascar
LordNigel's Travels - Animals of Rinca Island
For the moment I'm jumping all over the planet and trying various themes (to see what people would like?). At the moment I'll stick with the wilds and the animal themes, as I like these most.
So without further delay, This time I dedicate this post to the Animals of Kruger in South Africa
No trip to South Africa is complete without Rhino's. This guy is a white rhino, you can see by the horn and flat rounded mouth.
These guys have bad eye sight, so you can get very close by just hiding behind a small tree. After a while they smell you and then... kindda run away (such beautiful creatures from a bygone era - make me think of miniature dino's :))
These guys rule!, what an experience and privilege to be out on foot and up so close, to these huge battleships of the African plains.
This is a mum and baby tortoise. Most of the babies don't make it and get crunched on by Hyena and other predators as their shells are soft while small (Note: the rifle is to scare off large animals/predators only - I am not a hunter! and it is rarely used to shoot in the air for protection only)
These Hyena guys are everywhere, cruising around looking for opportunities to crunch! look at those shiny teeth and big smiles!
So many cool animals, like this curious buffalo - again, give plenty of distance and they will be kind back.
Of course elephants are everywhere. These guys stomp the environment (Such majestic animals, always such kind eyes, if you ever get the chance to get up close to wild elephants,well..it's just wonderful!)
Look both ways before crossing the roads. This lioness has a few babies (Life is tough and both babies may not make it)
These guys are always trying to munch the tasty leaves. The plants have evolved to grow spikes. Doesn't stop them though, that's where their big tough tongues come in :)
It can be dangerous here at night. We spotted this guy one night! the growl sent shivers..These are true ultimate predators!
This concludes this episode of LordNigel's Travels
I can just pick another random themes for next time? or take requests, you never know I may have been there. I can also provide more photo's on any place already posted (I have 100's of photo's). I like interaction! so please let me know.
All the best
