Can’t tell if these ‘geese’ are ducks or geese yet…
springbok were in the field behind him too
Such a majestic animal, and was easy to identify…
Just saw a lone Kudu behind the water hole
lone wildebeest coming in to drink now
beautiful sounding birds here too…not sure what they are, but they sound so neat
might not be geese here, like I thought…might actually be ducks…looks like African Black duck? not really sure, but seems to resemble it more than whatever else I found.
the geese are on the bank preening themselves
Really windy here today, in Africa
It’s so beautiful to see these animals here all wild and free, instead of in some concrete zoo…I quit going to zoos years ago now…couldn’t stand to see how the animals in such small spaces…not natural
Zebra just came to drink now too
Don’t see all the algae here anymore either…glad to see it gone hopefully.
The elephants left and now deer are here drinking
One big bull is still in the water, kicking up the water with his hind legs…lol
Wow, a small herd of elephant are drinking and playing in the water…having a good ole time.
What is left of the water in the pond is showing the algae again…I don’t guess it is gone yet…just hope none of the wildlife get sick from it…but, I think they would know if the water is safe to drink or not…
The waterhole here looks better and the elephants are back too…can just see the edge of one side and an elephant must be out into the water…splashing up a storm…lol
This lone black-foot cat I saw last night wasn’t seen here, it was actually seen at Pete’s Pond before…it was about a week ago now that I saw one there.
I actually saw a small cat at the watering hole…I think it was the African Black footed one that I saw here awhile back now.
So Michael…how do they rid the pond of this algae or can they? I read somewhere that some algae is actually harmful to wildlife.
I don’t think they will, unless – as you say – it becomes harmful to wildlife. Sometimes algae can harm aquatic organisms such as fish. While algae produce oxygen during daylight (as a byproduct of photosynthesis), at night they consume oxygen. In other words, too much algae can result in oxygen depletion, which in the end kills the aquatic life.
Thank you so much, Michael for that answer…I just knew it looked so different and no animals were there drinking…I just learned something new…thanks to you…take care and thanks again, Michael!!
Michael, what is this stuff on top of the water hole here this morning? I don’t see the usual animals here drinking from it either?
Looks like the waterhole got invaded by green algae… 🙁
That sludge on the water here, looks just like someone drove something through the water…weird looking…a path right on top of the water.
looks like a lot of sludge in the water today…looks almost like an oil slick.
wart hogs foraging behind the water hole…
Well, I am learning that there are different types of hyenas…the one I saw tonight was a brown hyena…unlike the spotted hyena, their coats are longer…so, mystery solved…it was a brown hyena…as it was leaving, I noticed a side view and it’s back is sloped down, so it has to be the brown hyena…first time I ever saw one…very strange…
I believe you are correct Janet! You’re extremely lucky as brown hyenas are very difficult to see. Another species is the striped hyena, though it is native to North and East Africa.
A lone bull elephant out for a drink. I think I made a mistake…what I thought was a hyena is actually a wild dog, I believe.
Just spotted a hyena drinking…longer hair on it too…strange looking, but when it moved away, I recognized the shape.
I so wish none of the animals would come alone to drink, especially at night…but I did see a what looked to be a mother elephant and her baby…looked about 3 or 4 months old…so, not too little, but still, night time is a not the safest time to be drinking alone or with a little one in tow.
The wild dogs may be back…just saw one at the watering hole here…its the first time I’ve seen any in several days now. I hope, if indeed they have returned, that they can’t take down a rhino…
