The reason persistence works

February 22, 2010

She seemed foolish at first, childish and inane in her abilities. The Vomba Young Female Leopard had spotted the mongoose running into the small shrub and was after it in a matter of seconds. The leopard was a live wire…a vibrant current bristling with energy and excitement at the possibility of a playmate that would turn into a meal. That is, if she could successfully catch it.

An Elephant Connection

February 19, 2010

Gently sauntering across grassy plains and threading her way through skeletons of archaic Ebonys, the elephant cow came closer to our stationary position. She seemed intrigued by our presence and her curiosity was evident. In a round about manner the cow drew closer still and then stopped just shy of the vehicle.

Happy World Wetlands Day

February 2, 2010

I am of the belief that elephants originated from water. Their mammoth sized bodies are so suited to bobbing in the ocean and their thick leathery hide receptive to the gentle touch of it. It was only when they moved onto dry land did their skin wrinkle and their trunks grow in order that they may eat.
We may never know if this is true or not, but I find the thought fascinating still, rather enchanting as a matter of fact. When I look at elephants I can’t deny it in my mind. These animals were born for water. They were meant to be engulfed in the fluid embrace of aquatic life and they were meant to spend a portion of every day just playing in it.
