4425 This pride is feasting on a freshly killed buffalo

4426 A Cape buffalo. It takes a big pride to take on of these on, and usually the bulls are second choice

4435 The nyala bull is larger than the ewe and his stripes are less obvious. They both have the white throat patch

4438 These rhinos are regularly dehorned to reduce their value to poachers.

4439 Rhino horn is made from keratin, the same stuff as our fingernails. It has no medicinal value

4441 The wildebeeste's distribution is limited only by its need to access water regularly

4442 Good numbers of warthogs generally indicate a healthy ecosystem

4443 A giraffe using its tongue to strip leaves from branches

4444 Warthog and piglets
