The Harmonious Hippos & Crocs

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:10:03 GMT

One of my favorite animals from my trip to the Zambia's Luangwa Valley has to be the hippopotamus. There is something special to me about their eyes and the way these magnificent creatures constantly watch you, their moaning and groaning as they mark their territory and their cute waddle of a walk. Indeed I didn’t realize how much they do walk and it was quite common for us to literally bump into one of them just wandering around the bush, quite a long way away from the river. Now this video is something pretty special!

Harmonious Hippos & Crocs

They're ferocious predators, but these crocs don't give hippos a second thought.

Great bird photography

As my friend Alanna knows as much as I'm a true nature lover I'm not really that into bird photography. I often say that its because I don't really have big enough lens to capture those feathered friends with the detail that I love. But I just came across a lovely site that has some spectacular images. If you need a break, check it out.

Saving the Bison

An interesting video (wait for the quick ad to roll) on the challenges that still face the American Bison. Amazing creatures that I have been fortunate to see a number of times in the last few years both in Montana and Yellowstone.

The California Condor

A fascinating discussion this morning with John Nielsen on the California Condor. Amazing to listen to and something I would love to see one day. Have to buy his book. Link to the audio feed here http://kuow.org/weekday.asp#9
