Happy camming and chatting.

Bounces in but i am off to bed now bye bye night night

hyena stopped by at EP for a quick drink got the baboon stirred up a bit.

well, I need to go now.  I'll be back later for the morning parade.  Good camming all.

I was so happy for some movement, I tweeped the hyena. He was gone before it went through, lol.

Bye Tman. I'm off for a bit also. BBL.

Tomorrow we need to make a plan about our  water pipe because of our "Plumber Ellie " too. It is not in a good mood latley and is destroying everything in it's way.  For the last 2 nights it has pushed over about 7 or 8 trees around the lodge. There are thousands of trees around and he chose those next to our houses! Why oh why??

    A  -   MUSTH   ?

    B  -   DOES NOT LIKE TREES  ?

    C -    LIKES ROCKS   ?

     D -   ALL OF THE ABOVE   ?

A gland between the eye and the ear periodically produces an oily substance called musth; during these periods the animal is in an excitable, dangerous condition, also called musth, meaning madness.

resulting is a yern   to  push   over   trees

they will eat  225 kg ( 500 ) pounds of feed a day

 they will drink   25 to 50 gallons of water depending on size of animal

They will dig deep holes with their trunk in search of water,

some holes being several feet deep

 It is thought that they know where to dig to find water

 due to social interactions with other elephants.

     elephant is called       Olifant   in  (Afrikaans),

   Name: African Elephant     (includes Forest Elephants

    bush  elephant  and Savannah Elephants)

Common name: African, savannah elephant

Hi Chuck! How's it going?

Hiya Sue, I'm doing well just now.  Not sure if I've met you before, it's been a while since I've been here.  That and CRS are both factors.

Chuck, I don't think we've ever chatted, but I've seen your name here often.
