The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

Here’s a new subspecies of zebra. They are totally different from all the other zebra we’ve seen.

They have some lighter lines amongst the dark lines.

They still generally travelled in single file when on the move.

There were a few young ones around, not where it was still brown but still nursing.

Their legs have more brownish stripes, but that’s about all when can tell the difference from previous zebras.

There were lots of puppies in Etosha.

The guinea fowl were not too happy about all the puppies and didn’t trust them.

Here the hungry puppies were grabbing what’s left of an elephant.

The smart puppies used the road construction as additional shade.

Oh, I’ve been spotted.

Quickly run away!

We did another night game drive in Etosha except this time the floodlight was red. Which made everything look much creepier.

There was also no moon, so everything was really dark without the light.

So it’s really hard to figure out what most of the pictures were even of.

Even the dik diks look demonic.

And this might have just been the ghost of a giraffe.

 

But we saw stuff that would have been scary even without the light, Like 10 black rhinos with two big male lions watching them.

We also saw a spring hare. I’m not sure why I put that in the scary section, but it was the best picture we have of the night.

We also saw lots of spotted stuff, including this spotted jennet.

We also saw a spotted eagle owl, a spotted thickney, and lots of spotted hyena. And a night jar.

Don’t let this lion give you nightmares.

There are more hyenas in Etosha.

They are all the spotted ones again.

Those are also the only ones that are active at all during the day. This one was out for a walk.

Their walks are quite odd with the shorter rear legs.

Even hyenas need baths and it was hot out.

It didn’t get all the way in, perhaps the water was too cold for it.

Most of the time they were just hanging out in the shade like most other things. Poor giraffes are too tall to get into the shade.
