Eland-- They are big and all muscle.  In fact they kind of look like the body builders of the antelope world.


African cattle-- this young guy isn't even full grown yet.


This Limpkin is actually native to Florida.  It was hunted almost to extinction.  It's call sounds like a woman screaming and I guess they are particularly loud at night and early morning-- could be why they were hunted so badly?  I mentioned that to our guide and he said "Nah, it was because they taste like chicken."  ;)


A few more of the Rhino's.  Our guide said they have to watch one of the rhino's because he likes to rub his horn on cars-- and he usually has expensive taste.

  1. HA! Love the comment about the elands being body builders!! Those cattle are amazing; I saw some at DisneyWorld's Animal Kingdom and the horns on those guys are mind-boggling. And a rhino with expensive tastes--so funny! Maybe those hand-rubbed finishes are the best for his horn polishing.

  2. You have gotten some excellent shots. I love the body building / antelope on steroids group as well the rhino crowd contemplating 'go for it' or 'stay and eat some more'.

  3. Glad the rhino didn't come to close to your car!
