The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

First collage attempt.

This is a Kudu.

They are huge but hide surprisingly well.

The males have big spiral horns.

They all have stripes.

And giant pink ears.

I’m not sure what this one is doing.

The waterhole in Etosha is really busy at night. Unfortunately a bit dark for pictures, but really cool to watch. This is a male lion.

This is the roar he made before coming to the waterhole. It sounds very uncatlike.

This is a mom and baby rhinoceros. But not the littlest babiest one. He came later.

This one went right into the water for a bath.

When they came out you could see the wet line really well in the dark.

Another rhinoceros came by after their bath. Mom was not very happy with him and they wrestled with their horns for a bit.

Then he turned his back, and Mom ran at him and stabbed him in the bum.

They weren’t the only ones fighting at the waterhole that night. Two groups of elephants also came down at the same time and they got into a tussle.

They locked trunks and locked tusks and pushed each other around. They were very quiet. Elephants trumpet when they are scared of other things (like our car) but apparently not when they are fighting with each other.

And then when one let go the other one pushed his head with his tusks.

After they left another mother and baby rhino came along. This was the littlest ittiest bittiest one. He doesn’t even have a full horn yet.

Look how small he is next to Mom.

Social weavers are birds that all live together.

They make giant complex nests.

There are many entrances in the bottom, while the top is completely covered.

Here’s what the birds actually look like.

They spend quite a bit of time bringing new twigs to add to the complex.

Having all the entrances facing down keeps the snakes out.

They seemed to move often from hole to hole so the homes may only be for the night or more permanent if nesting.

Sometimes they bring more than just dried twigs to add it. Maybe for some decorations inside.
