DSS Part 6: Mammals

Africian Lions (T)
by Jeter Skeet
In a great expanse of savanna with one tree in the middle, two lions find some shade from the sun.  This
may be a rare paring that occurs when a male has been supplanted.  An older female who is no longer
fertile may leave the pride to be with him.  They are looking in opposite directions for safety and to spot a source of food.


Young Defender (T)
by Jeter Skeet
This young fellow is growling at us because we apparently are multi-eyed, metallic dragons.



To Thieve from a Thief (T)
by Jeter Skeet
A black-back jackal is following a spotted hyena who has snatched a gnu skull from a lion kill.




Follow the Leader (T)

Wildebeests or Gnu form the great herds that migrate across the Serengeti Plains. It’s estimated that there are about 3,000,000 Gnus in these herds.



Synchronized Diving (T)
by Jeter Skeet
The great herds of Wildebeests form bottlenecks at river crossings, especially at the Mara River.



Chaos in the River (T)
by Jeter Skeet
During one crossing we saw a Nile Crocodile take one of the Wildebeests.
