These are different than the first two ... these don't have horns. Wonder if they are gazlees or something else?

Wow - like a free trip to Africa. Check out the little black bird wallowing in the dirt. :)

OH LOOK NOW!!

Okay, those were Impalas that were there originally.

This is a Gazelle, maybe those were youngsters we saw, b/c they looked like this minus the horns

Oh this is so very cool!

Impalas, gazelles and accompanying black bird, and now wildebeasts. This is a way cool job for some person.

Well, except I don't do snakes and I keep thinking about a huge one, python style, making its way into this camera location. :shock:

Yep, that was an elephant behind the zebra. Wish they had zoomed in on that

Okay, wait a minute, was that a house I saw in the background just now?

It is a house! Now I'm confused! I thought this was wild?

Oh, Elephants!

Yes, looked like some kind of lodge. I don't think a hunting lodge, because the animals wouldn't be coming so close to there if it was. And I think I saw the helicopter there on the ground (I heard it earlier).

Carol U - I'm right there with you ... during the first half hour or so watching NOTHING moving I thought it was a trick, too. :oops:
