Afternoon at Lake Nakuru

These are waterbuck.

image

The males have big corkscrew horns.

image

The calves stick very close to Mom.

image

And you do not want to mess with Mom.

image

This is a baboon.

image

They eat grass. Actually they eat lots of stuff but we only saw them eating grass.

image

They need to pull their pants up.

image

These are warthogs.

image

They run away when they see us coming. But only for a short distance. Then they seem to forget why they were running and go back to grazing.

image

This is a zebra.

image

He is busy eating.

image

What is standing next to that tree?

image

It is a good thing we brought binoculars.

image

One of these things is not like the others.

image

Can you tell which one doesn’t belong?

image

It’s a bit hard to see through the haze off of the lake.

image

But that one is a white rhinoceros.

image

He was easier to see once he stood up.

image

African rhinos don’t have teeth in the front so they have to pluck up the grass with their lips.

image

And then chew it with their back teeth.

image

This is a black rhino.

image

He has a swishy tail like an elephant.

image

He has a hunchback and a wider mouth than the white rhino.
