  • Galapagos Sealion (Zalophus wollebaeki)  <br />
Mother & new pup<br />
RABIDA ISLAND<br />
GALAPAGOS, ECUADOR. South America<br />
There are approximately 16,000 individual sealions in the archipelago and numbers are increasing. Males are much larger than females, weighing up to 250kg compared with 100kg in the females. They spend a large amount of time hauled up on sandy beaches. The males establish territories which are savagely defended from rivals. Young bachelors and unsuccessful bulls then leave the area and establish bachelor colonies on the outskirts of female haul-outs. Reproduction occurs mainly in the Garua season between July and December and will vary from Island to Island. Sealions are highly thigmotactic (seeking body contact) and loaf around in piles on the beaches. They are extremely efficient hunters, preferring sardines to other fish, so spend a considerable time resting or at play. Underwater they are well streamlined, lithe and acrobatic.<br />

  • 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.

  • Rabari woman and child of the Sorathi subgroup found in and around the Gir Forest National Park Gujarat. W India. <br />
The women have very ornate earrings and many of them also have ornate tatoos on their necks, chests and arms. Designs such as peacocks and other religious symbols are usually done during festivals when the tatoo artists come to town.<br />
Locally these people are also known as Maldharis - which in their language means cattle herder.<br />
Rabari were traditionally camel herders but now each subgroup works with an animal that is most feasible in the surrounding environment. This subgroup are generally cattle herders. (Rabari is a term used for tribal livestock herders). As they live in and around the Gir Forest which is the home of the endangered Asiatic lion they loose a lot of their cattle to the lions. They are compensated however. Each costume varies slightly according to subgroup. The Sorathi Rabari man wear the 'Chorani' pants which are tight-calved with gathered waists. They also wear the 'Kediyun' men's short jacket that is tightly gathered at armpit level. These together with the turbin are made from white cotton. They also substitute the turban for woolen caps. In many cases the men also wear large ornate earings made from either gold. These are worn through the cartledge of the middle of the ear. Jewellery is their wealth and they never take it off.
