First one I ever came across was in Wankie (Hwange for all you newcomers ;) ) in '72 as a 10 year old kid. <BR/><BR/>We were camped right on the fence line at Sinamatella. Needed to make a toilet run in the middle of the night, unzipped the tent and stepped out. I'm not sure who got the bigger fright, me or the serval who was about 15 feet away! I've never unzipped a tent or lost my need to go to the loo so fast! It's a big cat when you are only 10.<BR/><BR/>Since then I've only seen them maybe 4 or 5 times, usually when I was hiking around the old eastern transvaal camping out in the bush.Timepilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365473527828165700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28360765.post-26653904127426012692009-03-24T11:41:00.000+11:002009-03-24T11:41:00.000+11:00Timepilot, thank you so much !!

It's an amalgam of two seperate books about her time at Mhlangeni and then the other camps where her hubby worked.<BR/><BR/>Another great book if you can get a hold of it is "A Game Ranger Remembers" by Bruce Bryden who was the former chief ranger (gets a mention in Wilderness Family.

To get the giraffe picture (or any others) click on it with your mouse, right-click and choose the "save as" option and save into your pictures folder. Or choose copy and copy into some other programme (ie Word if you want to make it part of a Word document)". There are a couple of programmes you can download off the net to do some tweaking - CAPPY and GIMP 2. Have had a minor play with these but haven't had time to explore properly.Trinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750226004205342220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28360765.post-6861027526032445872009-03-22T08:06:00.000+11:002009-03-22T08:06:00.000+11:00Dozy, so if you were an African animal you would b...Dozy, so if you were an African animal you would be a buffalo yes?<BR/><BR/>Having got side-tracked last night onto buffalos, or is it buffalo (pl)? came across an amazing 8 min video featuring same and then some.

I had already decided to change my picture but this pushed me to do it sooner rather than later. <BR/><BR/>I am a cheetah...why?<BR/><BR/>I am a solitary female who usually hunts by daylight (probably explains why I'm solitary). I am tall, slim, long-legged with a small rounded head on a long neck. I have a yellowish-brown coat with a white belly. I like living in the open (but unfortunately live in the jungle). I overheat if exerted for long periods of time (which doesn't happen too often). I don't roar like a lion (unless you threaten me or mine)- I purr, hiss, whine and growl. I am shy - which again explains why I am solitary. I have been described as elegant (normally when I have groomed myself prior to the hunt). I would have been graceful, but I was born with two left feet (oh, I was born with two right too - duh). Enough said.<BR/><BR/>TP: I'm with Dozy, the giraffes were amazing. The lighting brilliant - was it sunset? Loving the animal shots, but love them much more when then environment showcases too.Trinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750226004205342220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28360765.post-24568020903430141942009-03-21T19:05:00.000+11:002009-03-21T19:05:00.000+11:00Tony darling, you don't have big ears.Tony darling, you don't have big ears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28360765.post-22143135374312898652009-03-21T16:17:00.000+11:002009-03-21T16:17:00.000+11:00With a nickname like mine do you need to ask ??I t...With a nickname like mine do you need to ask ??<BR/><BR/>I totally love the giraffes however !! What a beautiful picture. Please can you email me a copy so I can print it out & hang in my office - please ??<BR/><BR/>Is your non-fiction about the "lion whisperer" ? If so then I am hanging for it's release.<BR/><BR/>I have a wonderful book in my collection called The Wilerness Family by Kobie Kruger about life with her game-ranger husband Kobus in Mahlangeni where they raised a lion cub.I did not put it down once, read it straight through (no sleep that night) laughing & crying throughout. It was an absolute joy to read.dozycowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982248015622341082noreply@blogger.com
