We were lucky enough to live in Namibia for a number of years- everyday of lock down in Virginia makes us miss it a little bit more. During that time, we took a number of trips to Etosha National Park (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etosha_National_Park). The place is incredible and filled will more wildlife than you can shake a stick at.
Astute Schlinkshot watchers (Hi Emily!) will notice this is a slightly different sort of blog post. I got motivated to post a sampling of animal photos as part of a photo challenge over at Dutch goes the photo (check him out at https://dutchgoesthephoto.net/2020/04/21/tuesday-photo-challenge-animals-2/).
Here are some Kudu catching a morning drink. We once had one of these guys get lost in our neighborhood, but that is another story.More fun at another watering hole, with a couple of young-fish elephants, oryx, and springbokLilac-breasted roller, named so because of the aero-acrobatics they do when trying to impress potential mates. I don’t know for sure, but I think these two are brothers. If anyone happens to know what this guy is, I would be thrilled if you could tell me. Joseph told me this is a Martial Eagle. Be sure to check out his blog @ https://josephelonlillie.com/This is a very unfriendly black rhino, who is on his way to charge our car. Kind of scary.This is 8 photos stitched together, but this is the biggest elephant heard I had ever seen. Seeing one elephant is pretty awe-inspiring, 40 is a little overwhelming.The wildlife is amazing in Etosha, the landscape is… unique.
Thanks! It was hard for me to pick too. We spent so much time in that park and at different times of year. I got to the point that our youngish would not look up from their books unless it was a cat.
