Leopard with Kill, Masai Mara Kenya
Another shot of last weekend's leopard. Leaving it's kill neatly stashed for later... too stuffed to eat any more!

Topi Snoozing, Masai Mara Kenya
Typical Topi snooze position. Why, I'm not too sure- better visual
viewpoint possibly, though they sleep with eyes closed. Maybe it's to
keep flies out of the nose?

Mara River Crocodile Attack
Of course there are risks in depending on the river for water... No
losses this time, but the wildebeest and zebra have to return soon.

The Mara River During the Dry Season
Keeping with the dry-season theme: The Mara River becomes an
ever-more important water source while the many small tributaries,
mud-holes and swamps scattered throughout the Mara slowly dry up as the
dry season progresses. Note the unconcerned crocodile on the bank- too small to be a threat, so the two species completely ignore
each other.

Seasonal Wildebeest Movements, Masai Mara Kenya
The Loita Hills Wildebeest and Zebra population moved into the Mara
Triangle in search of pasture during this recent dry season. River
crossings were rather undramatic for the most part as water in the Mara
River was only knee-deep. This photo was taken mid March.
