Beautiful little mushrooms growing in a midden of Rhino dung. 

This colour is quite unusual - the white type is quite common though.

To hide her baby, Mother Baboon turned her back on us as we approached.

Baby, however was too inquisitive and was soon out and staring at the car

Have you ever given any thought or wondered how baby Elephants suckle?

Elephant cows do not have udders, but two 'breasts' rather similar to those of a human, these are situated between the front legs. The baby Elephant has to roll its trunk back to reach the mammary gland. The trunk fits neatly under mother's 'arm'

We had a fantastic day in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park.

The hi-lite of the day certainly was seeing Lions!

The male Lion did not really want to be seen and concentrated on staring at his paws. 

Anything as long as he could avoid the camera.

We saw this lady by chance!

She emerged from the thickets and stood looking into the distance ...

 ... she turned to look at us briefly then turned and walked away into the bush.
