Thanks for the new day, notice and pictures    kk

Rhinos at Nk

what do you think ? 2 female or male female ..one is making little noises 

Thanks Barry for finally ending Monday!!!

Didn't Cowboy say the other day the females make that high pitched noise?

Nope

I could have dreamt that lol I'm having completely insane dreams lately.

yes, Babies make them too ..But I see no Babies and he kind of ran at her when he thought she was leaving.  Wish we could have gotten a close up to see if that was Sir Marks A Lot .   i think it was a male / female. Usually the females will stay real close together.

Hello everyone,

That was a baby rhino noise wasn't it?  Except that baby is huge.  I think it was a rhino mother and calf.

WD check ur mail

I guess we will know when he runs back to the WH for a drink,smoke, and nap 

Can't believe it is not windy at the cams

Back for a short while...can't believe both times I've left the cams, rhinos have showed up.  They must be watching to see when I leave...lol

Now there you go useing that "W" word

IF  YOUR TALKING ABOUT FEMALE RHINO  

THEY WHISTLE

Shhhh  ..you want I should make you get up and dance again  ;-)

In googling for info I found that rhinos only have a calf every 2 to 5 years.  That could have been a 2-3 yr old that came to the waterhole with its mother.  It looked as if there was a noticeble size difference in the 2 rhinos.

edit to correct mistake

I'd rather be splashin with Reba

I'm going again...back later

Momma and bady rhino are on their way (somewhere)

  There has been a Mom and older calf that visits ..but they tend to stay very close to each other. they drink together side by side and when one leaves the other leaves.  The reason I think this was a Male / female is the way the one ran when he thought the one was going off in anther direction. Also , there has been alot of spraying and advertising going on lately ..But it could have been a yougster out there somewhere makig the squeaky noises ..was one thre just an hour or so before .

Hi JeanneL

Nk whooper

Far side Nk     ?

Maybe a duiker

I hear the dogs barking ...but that other noise ...?? sort of like the bird they call Ghost Bird ??  can't think of name right now

edit ..NK

I see a little Bokkie at NK now ..Duiker or Bushbuck ..hard to tell

EP is the only cam bushbuck have been seen

thats what I was thinking ..but it di look a little "heavy"  ..I would love to get a good look at Duikers, Steenbok, and Bushbuck, enough to be able to tell them apart by shape.  I just want to go sit in the Bush for a few years LOL
