Having had the undoubted privilege to have observed hundreds of wild lions in their natural state, it is evident to me that there is a wide range of “personalities”. Although a little handicapped by a swollen, injured left foreleg, this male is evidently patient, attentive and polite.

On a misty morning earlier this month we found this couple. From their relaxed but attentive behaviour we deduced that they had not started mating. Our guide observed that the male was very patient and well-mannered.

Scorpions glow green in ultraviolet light.

Who knew?

My first reaction was “why?” But, why not? Our eyes can only detect a tiny sliver of the EMF spectrum. What if our eyes could detect a different part of that spectrum? Its only a change to the frequency sensitivity. UV is right next door so it’s a minor shift. Maybe some animals did evolve this ability.

But what if we could see radio waves or x-rays or gamma rays, all of which exist in nature? (at Kings Camp Lodge)

Do you think the big boy in the foreground is aware of the much bigger boy walking up behind him?

A counter bas-relief on the wall at Ellerman House in Cape Town. In the flesh this is a beautifully created object but on the screen it messes with your brain.

One of the highlights of staying @amalinda_lodge is the opportunity to walk into the bush looking for rhinos.
