  • Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) herd is still in a tight group after sleeping this way and they will stay grouped until mid morning in the hopes that it will then be too hot for the lions to follow and hunt them.<br />
Duba Plains area. Okavango Delta. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
THIS HERD AND ITS LION INTERACTION HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTARY FILMED BY DEREK AND BEVERLEY JOUBERT.<br />
HABITAT: Open plains where they eat coarse grass - in doing so expose the more tender grass and shoots for the many animals that find the old grass unpalatable. When not feeding they tend to group tightly in wooded areas with the young in the center to protect themselves againt predators.<br />
They usually occur in large herds and are under constant stress with lions and hyaena stalking and hunting them on a regular basis.<br />
Both sexes have horns. Males horns more massive. Males are also larger and darker in color. They weigh between F: 550kg and M 600-1000kg's with a should height of 140 cm. <br />
They are predatored on by lions, spotted hyaena and large crocodiles.

  • Papyrus swamps & channel. On leaving the restraining faults of the Panhandle the Okavango's waters spill and spread over the Kalahari sands, forming a vast delta of lagoons, channels and reedbeds. This channel is permanant and not seasonal flooding. The deeper water is in the channels which are kept open by hippopotamus. The reedbeds themselves support few creatures.<br />

  • Bat-eared fox (Octocyon megalotis) Duba Plains.<br />
Okavango Delta. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
HABITAT: Open plains and dry pans. They are mostly nocturnal but can be seen lying outside of their burrows during the day. They dig their own burrows which can be up to 3 meters deep.<br />
Small carnivore weighing about 4kg's with a shoulder height of 30cm.<br />
These small carnivores eat mostly insects, termites, locusts, grasshoppers and beetles. Sometimes they eat fruit, small rodents, reptiles, seeds, scorpions and carrion. Their large ears provide for sensitive hearing so they are able to hear termites underground and then dig them up. They also provide a large surface area which helps the fox to lose heat which is vital as they tend to live in hot regions.<br />
Bat-eared foxes are prone to rabies and during the 80's a rabies outbreak serverely depleted their numbers in Southern Africa.

  • Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) Large pod seen from the air near Mombo on Chief's Island.<br />
Okavango Delta. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
Aquatic mammals who come out onto land at night to graze on grass. They play an important role in keeping river channals open. May stay submerged under water for up to 8 minutes. An adult animal does not usually have any major enemies except in areas where there is very little grass and they have to walk long distances to find food. Their weakened condition may then render them vulnerable to lion or hyaena. They can also migrate seasonally to rain filled pans to allow access to grazing areas.

  • Wild dogs or painted wolves (Lycaon pictus) Savuti channel, Linyanti region.<br />
BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
STATUS: ENDANGERED. THEY ARE THE MOST ENDANGERED LARGE CARNIVORE IN AFRICA AND THE SECOND MOST ENDANGERED CANID IN THE WORLD. This is due to habitat distruction, over-hunting and rabies.<br />
HABITAT: Wide tolerance. Prefer to hunt in open plains but then take refuge in wooded areas, often in mopane forests. They are crepuscular (early morning and dusk) and diurnal but will hunt at night during a full moon. <br />
They weigh 25-30 kg's with a shoulder height of 65cm.<br />
Wild dogs are the most successful hunters in the bush and they hunt co-operatively in packs and maintain a speed of 60km p/h for about 5km. Once caught the victim in quickly torn apart and devoured to prevent hyaenas and lions from stealing the carcass. Wild dogs take care of their young and sick and will readily share their food with other pack members. The whole pack helps to raise the young which are born of the dominant pair. (alpha male and female)<br />
They contact rabies from domestic dogs as they often cross through agricultural and rural areas.

  • Burchell's zebra (Equus burchelli) large herbivore living in open plains.  MOTHER AND BABY. Linyanti and Savuti areas. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
Their upper and lower incisors make them the only grazers to be able to chew off long and coarse grass rather than tearing off softer and shorter grass. They are water dependent so usually come to a water sourse at least once per day. These diurnal animals weight up to 300kgs and have one foal per year. Impressive annual migrations occur every year between their winter and summer feeding grounds.
