13 Pictures of Animals in Africa

A while back I did a Thursday Thirteen in which I mentioned the two-headed giraffe my mother took a picture of while on vacation in Africa. A few of you said you’d like to see the pictures. Here thirteen of the ones of animals she sent me:

There are many different types of antelopes. The Impala is sometimes referred to McDonalds of the savanna -fast food with an M on the rear.

Baboon and baby at Cape of Good Hope

Bleskbok

Notice baby elephant that went with us and half grown elephant (single rider) that was in early training. All other elephant pictures are wild elephants.

Taken in Botswana, not South Africa. Young males learning how to fight.

Giraffes have to lower body to be able to get a drink. Otherwise blood rushes to head and they pass out.

Kudu is the national emblem for South Africa

When one monkey drink, another watches out for predators

Waterbuck

Zebras have different stripe patterns (like human’s fingerprints). Mother zebra takes colt away from herd until colt can recognize mother’s pattern.
