Adult Von Hohnels Chameleon- Nairobi Kenya

Here's the adult- approx 12 cm from nose to rear leg. Looks a bit meaner than the young 'un!

Young Von Hohnel's Chamelelon- Nairobi Kenya

Today it's a young Von Hohnels chameleon- from my back yard here in Nairobi. This chap is all of 4cm long from nose to back leg.

Tomorrow I'll post the adult- maybe its parent.

The Mara Triangle, Masai Mara, Kenya

Every once in a while things really come together in the Mara Triangle- here we have two Cheetah AND a Black Rhino in the same photo!

Old Bull Elephant- Masai Mara Kenya

I know this Mara Triangle bull- he can be an ornery & unpredictable critter during 'musth'- the mating season. Seemed OK when I took this pic this February

Warthog- Nairobi Nantional Park, Kenya

The Warthog. A most appropriately descriptive name.

The Kongoni equivalent of that awkward 'teens' period in life....

Still waters run.....scaly(?)

Mara Cheetah Profile

I've never tried, but I imagine identifying individual cheetahs based on spot-patterns would be fairly easy.

This big fella wandered up to within 10m of us. Elephant definitely have the right of way!

Lion Cubs- Masai Mara, Kenya

A wriggly ball of fur with sharp bits....

Balloon Eclipse- Sunrise in the Mara

The most we've counted is 14 hot air balloons in the air at once during a Mara sunrise. I'm pleased to say that the wildlife have become accustomed to their looming and intermittently fiery presence aloft.

Newborn Colobus Monkey, Mt. Kenya

Here's another young 'un- from the crop of 2013. A newborn colobus is pure white. They have no opposable thumb on their 'hands' - just a vestigial nub. The 'feet' have opposable big toes- as seen here.

Baby Colobus- Mt. Kenya

One of the crop of 2012- a young Colobus from Mt. Kenya
