Flying Serval

 Servals are characterized by tawny, black-spotted coats and a long neck and legs to see over savanna grasses. They have large ears and an acute sense of hearing Servals eat a great variety of prey including rodents, birds, reptiles, frogs and insects. They catch much of their prey by leaping high into the air and pouncing but have also been seen reaching into burrows with their long forelimbs, or hooking fish out of water.

The Day of the Hippo









 Just another morning for the hippo and the cattle egret.
The hippo feeding on the grass and the reeds and the cattle egret waiting for a poor bug to be unsettled so it can catch it in mid flight.

The Chameleon - Photo by Ranger JP



The Chameleon
Uniquely adapted for climbing and visual hunting, 
Chameleons have the most distinctive eyes of any reptile. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously; this lets their eyes move independently from each other. This gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their body
