You're quite right the pit is for all intent and purpose an observation pit. We do have a microphone in it. We have a steel gauze over the front as the eles had taken it out the pit for us before. The pic that you has on the FB page is actually when it was removed by an ele, it hauled the pipe out the ground also

Attached is a pic of the mic, we tested it in this position - just under the hide. it is of course now in the pit, we have a sound proof cover behind it to stop the echo in the pit. The pre-amp is in the hide which in turn connects to the camera and on to the radios for transmssion back to Tembe Lodge. Power is provided by solar panels on the hide roof.

The orange pipe in the pic is a 40mm polyurethane pipe, we have two of them going from the hide to the pit - one for the audio and the other for power - we power the Infra red lights from here. The pipes are burried on top of the water pipe which feeds the pan

The red thing on top of the pit is a square 5mm steel lid, must weight 40Kg.

One can get some good pics from this angle, but you can be your own worst enemy, if you go there in the morning, you may not get out until much later in the day as there is a lot of animal traffic about.Its incredibly hot in there and you cannot stand. Of course every time we get to the pit we carefully inspect it - for snakes, scorpions, spiders...generally anything that can bite.

Please dont hesitate to ask, would be most happy to answer your questions

regards

Verne

Stripes

It was previously believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes, since some zebras have white underbellies. Embryological evidence, however, shows that the animal's background color is black and the white stripes and bellies are additions.

The stripes are typically vertical on the head, neck, forequarters, and main body, with horizontal stripes at the rear and on the legs of the animal.
