Animal pictures...

So.. I'm in Africa...

which means that there are lots of animals....

I've decided to show you the more interesting photos I've taken. At left you see maybe the cutest animal in the world.. a baby donkey, which you see all over the place. Donkeys come in any different colors, from white, gray, brown, and black.

Below you see a dung-beetle which are quite plentiful as you get out of town, but that requires a long walk. He's actually pushing the dungball with his back legs, it's really funny to watch.




Here you see a rather interesting pair. A meerkat snuggling up against a 3 month old puppy (Boerhound, I believe is the breed). The two love chewing on each other, which is kinda fun to watch.
During our swearing in ceremony, we stayed at a beautiful game reserve, which was quite amazing, just 30 minutes from the capital city, there were we, among lions and springbok... to name a few of the animals that were there. The lions roared at sunset, it was really cool sounding.























The lion keeper was something else.















So I did the same with a smaller animal...







He actually is quite social and plays with you, nibbles on you, sleeps on you, eats any insects in the house, will squeal when he doesn't see you. He'll also chatter when he sees a snake.. and then attacks it and kills it. Quite useful... I want one....






And on weekends at my schools, these are the kids that hang out there... I'm out of internet time now... but this will be updated soon...
