Zebra family backlit just before sunset. To take
advantage of the best light, on our safaris we leave the lodges as early as
possible and return as late as we are allowed to.

I was excited as this scene unfolded
in front of us. Two giraffes stood with their necks crossed with a third
giraffe drinking and a herd of zebra in the background. I had waited a long
time for this.

Suddenly everything
changed! One of the giraffe slammed his head into the other's back and
the fight was on!

Like two proud fighters they stood
dealing each other blow after blow.
Neither one was willing to submit to the other.

We
watched this battle go on for nearly an hour. Then we got word by radio
that a nearby pride of lions was stalking a herd of unsuspecting
wildebeest that was moving into their territory. We left the giraffe
hoping to witness the lion hunt. Later, with daylight beginning to fade
and darkness settling on the land, the lions had not yet made their move
so we returned toward the lodge. As we passed by the giraffes we could
see them still fighting. True gladiators! Fortunately they rarely do
serious injury to each other.

Although they are the largest antelope, eland are very shy
and often elusive animals. A large bull can weigh well over one ton
(2000 pounds).
