Back off! A hippo gives fair warning. He's not going to ask twice.

Sunset over the Chobe River, Botswana. I was told before I left by a South African work colleague that the sunsets in African are next level. He was right!

Impala, Chobe National Park. Impala were by far the most common wildlife we spotted, usually in herds of 20 to 50 animals. They were always on their guard, but with lions, leopards and hyenas in the area, they needed to be!

Kudu are one of the more beautiful species of antelope. The males have spectacular curved horns (google it!), but unfortunately I didnt manage to get a good shot of one!

We saw giraffes nearly every day we were in Botswana. It was a special moment each time

As promised in the last post, there was a lot more to the leopard photo. While driving around Chobe National Park, we came across a impala hanging from a tree. Our driver told us only one animal would do that to its kill. Sure enough, a leopard jumped up out of the grass and climbed up. Solitary leopards can't defend a kill from a pack of hyenas or lions so their best bet is to drag it up into a tree- not easy when the impala is bigger than you are! The driver told us the leopard will eat the lower parts of the kill and when it is lighter, will pull it up further. We came back early the next morning and, sure enough, the impala's lower abdomen and back legs had been eaten away and the rest of it was now hanging from a much higher branch. The leopard tried to pull the impala further into the tree but lost its grip and it fell to the ground. The leopard climbed down to the ground to try the whole thing again.

Foe a leopard, making a kill is not the end of it as it now has to defend it. The hard work is just starting!
