Wildlife watching

Cape Vidal SA

More hippos, today. Again we mostly see noses as the hippos are submerged in a pond to escape the sun.

THe last we saw of Dom was pretty much the same. Except he was submerged in his macbook editing a video. Shame for him, look what we saw...

A drive into Cape Vidal park, and just after the hippo noses we spot our 1st set of springbok. Not 1 of the big 5, but worth a few photos.

The springbok don't lure any leopards, but it is a bit early for lunch. Sadly we don't see any rhino, either. However, a ball of manure rolling across the road more than makes up for it - DUNG BEETLE! Clearly hungry, the little beetle has managed to shift the poo into the grass before we can get a proper look.
