The innocence of the young .. from the bush with LOVE The bond between an elephant calf and its mother (and the rest of the herd) is unbelievable strong. It is one of the most beautiful experiences to take time just enjoying their presence and their personality. 📸 &caption by Bulenomads #nvauganda #copsafaris I've been there, walk with me to the Pearl..

The large body of gorillas needs abundant and adequate food to work properly. They are mostly herbivores, but instead of eating more fruits than herbs, like most monkeys and chimpanzees do, they consume more foliage and other plant parts. Gorillas eat leaves, stems, fruits, bark and buds, and occasionally small invertebrates like ants, worms, termites, and larvae. An adult gorilla is capable of consuming 18 to 20 kilograms of food every day. 📸 by Daniel Rosengren from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. #copsafaris #nvauganda (at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_4XZPFnJIH/?igshid=57fcm85ntv6o

Today is Earth Day! I think that the current COVID-19 world crisis is our alarm call to wake up from this "life is good" dream that we're living in, and make a drastic change. If we won't change, our future generations (and maybe even us) will not be able to enjoy this planet as we have. So what can we do? LOTS of things! Recycle! Plant trees! Reduce your waste! Travel smarter (walk, cycle, public transportation) Be kind - to your wildlife, your forests, your oceans, to each other... And much more! If each of us will do his/her part, it's guaranteed that we will have a better and healthier place to live in. I'd really love it if my kids, and their kids, will be able to personally experience scenes like this one, of a family of elephants walking over the green plains, with beautiful blue sky above them. Wouldn't you? I'd LOVE to hear from you and learn what are YOU doing these days to secure a better planet for our kids. Tell me the changes you made in your life/lifestyle to have a better world. Even if the changes are small, if we all do them, they'll have a big positive impact on us all. And please, share this with your friends and your family, even if you think that they already know it all. Maybe a comment/suggestion that one of you will write, will give us all a great idea and make a change. You never know...

This is one of the cubs from the Black Rock Pride. We spent the afternoon with the females and their young ones as they were enjoying the last rays of sunshine on top of one of the rocks. I thought I saw the tip of little ears between the rocks, so I climbed on top of my seat, having half of my body above the roof, to the point that I was able to see the cub's face. We looked at each other for a few seconds before he went back to sleep between the rocks. This was another reminder that even if you are confined to a small car, you can still move inside the car (and of course, move with the car...) to get a different angle. In this case, had I not climbed on my seat, I wouldn't be able to see this cutie-pie. Hope you're having a great Caturday and that you are safe and healthy at home.

This is not a typical post for me. I usually try to keep my posts to the cute and beautiful things in the wild, but this is part of nature. The main reason I am posting this, is because of the misconception about hyenas. People think that they just steal food from others and eat whatever the big cats leave behind. This is NOT true. Hyenas are very good hunters. In fact, they are much better than most cats! Just to get an idea - the lions have approximately 25% success rate, and cheetahs have about 40%. A pack of a hyenas can have a 75% success rate! They usually rely on their speed and stamina to exhaust their prey, and kill by biting chunks off their prey and targeting areas with major blood vessels. In this case, we found 2 spotted hyenas just outside camp as they were chasing an adult wildebeest. It was pretty dark outside, way before sunrise, and we decided to stay with them. They first bit the wildebeest's testicles, and then started biting his side. As the wildebeest became weaker, the dominant hyena chased away the other one, and as the wildebeest collapsed, the vultures joined the party.. I promise not to share such images for a long time, so next post will be cute again.🙂 Taken at Maasai Mara, Kenya, 8/2019.

The grace of two fighting giraffes. It may seem like they move in slow motion, but the force created when they swing their own heads like a club is tremendous. The skull of a giraffe male grows more and more heavy as they age, hence their "club" gets more and more powerful, As they fight, the hairs on top of their horns (ossicones) get worn away. So if you see a giraffe with bald spots on the horns, it is a male. #copsafaris #nvauganda 📸 & caption byDaniel Rosengren I've been there, walk with me to the Pearl.. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9lckusH6Av/?igshid=r9ahcnegzsc4

Just a tiny fraction of the about 1,4 million wildebeest that migrate around the Serengeti-Mara system. What is often less known is that large numbers of zebra and thomson's gazelles also migrate as well as some eland antelopes. The search for green grass is the reason for their migration, hence, they follow the rains. #copsafaris 📸 &caption by Dainel Rosengren Follow @copsafaris for your wildlife treat..

A lioness with her youngster at sunset, It is not uncommon for lions to wake up from their daytime lazing just before sunset and start looking around. It is as if they scan their surroundings for potential prey that they could approach as soon as darkness falls, Being cats, lions have an advantage over prey when it is really dark, especially at nights without full moon. But at long distance, it much easier to spot the prey when there is still some sunlight.
