Looks like the Hyeanas have found the buff!

They look so playful don't they  :0

That first one looked so big I couldn't tell if it was a hyena or not.

I just caught them drinking.  Were they running around & playing?

hyaenas remind me of bored, mischievious children. If nothing is going on they will try to shake something

I am disappointed that we didn't get to see what night critters came over to check out the fallen Buff.  Even if they wouldn't touch it, I am betting they were hanging out there for a while tonight. 

I was away feeding my dogs so I got to see only one.  I wasn't sure what it was, so thanks.  Wish they could pan over to the buff.  They could shine the landie lights on it maybe?

Hyenas at the WH

The sky is darker than it has been over the past couple of nights.

I guess the buff is far enough away from mic to even hear if other critters go near.

All 3 WHs have lots of wind!  I wonder if it's a stormy somewhat.  When I was  looking at my recordings I was moving it fast & you could see the clouds coming in and it getting darker. 

I just missed the hyenas again???? Geesh....housework and washing clothes takes away from my viewing time.

That sounds good, Sag. Perhaps more rain will fall.

While we are waiting for critters to come by for a drink, I'll share what I just thought of. It's about the Zeb's having excellent night vision. On a very dark night they have an advantage over the Lion's in that they can see the Kittie's much better than the Kitties can see them. This being said, I guess the Zeb's can relax a tad more tonight.

bokkie??

I wonder how the animals are doing in the parts of Africa with flooding now?

Sheesh!!!  Well, that's an all time record.  It's taken me over 3 hours, since I got home from work, to catch up on the days pics, videos and chat.  Damn job!!!  One more reason to hate it!  Shouldn't have to work this hard to catch up - should have been here the whole time, experiencing it as it happened.

On the other hand........................without the job, couldn't pay the electric bill and the cable bill, so there wouldn't be anything to watch!  Oh well............

BTW, hi bomites!

Hey Roger...same problems here...not fair huh?... I should have been born rich...I deserve it!!!

Full moon on the 26th...sure is dark out there..

Hi Roger!  Glad you got all caught up!  This evening has been quiet or you will still be trying to catch up.

Well the cliff notes version of the day, Roger, is buff died, vultures are very happy (and probably a few jackals right now), and we're all concerned about TB.

Hiya!

Well put Cyn!

Hyenas are having a party i think.

 What time is dawn and when does zoomie wake up?

Anytime between 5 and 6 am Africa time.

 Thanks. That would be 11-midnight here....I'm gonna "try" to stay up and see what the scoop is with the buff.

The sun will start coming up pretty soon.

That is 9 here. I bet there is just the bones left by now.

May not look so different from our view. Animals don't seem to bother with the skin.

LOL Jean and hide, too.  Surely, the hyenas came and did their job on the buff.  There's one now taking a drink.  Guess we know that buffs are salty.
