Follow behind cows, because cows kick up insects as they move through the grass.
Guess why it’s called the open-billed stork? The middle part of it’s bill never closes.
It’s call sounds like a cry to ‘Go-away!’ and so it’s known as the go-away bird.
We watched them diving for fish in the Zambezi River. A treat (like all kingfishers).
In Sossusvlei, Namibia we put out a tin cup of water near where we were sitting and a black backed jackal came to drink from it. It must have been very thirsty to risk coming so close to us as they run away at the earliest sign of people.
Almost always seen in pairs.
Male and female have horns. Herds of up to thousands. Eat grass, small trees, shrubs. Babies born in summer. Need water and shade. If there are buffalo there are LIONS because a lion’s favourite food is a buff.
Tiny fluffy little babies.
