Guys I'm off to Bostwana - please enjoy the images I've scheduled to post in my absence. All the best, Wim (y)  *This image is copyright of its original author One of my favourite places to photograph. Every corner you turn there's another beautiful scene. Even mid day when the giraffes stand under lone trees on vast open landscapes with storms building in the background.

Diceros bicornis
Photo and information credits: David Lloyd Wildlife Photography "Goodbye Big Ole Boy. Karanja was the Maasai Mara's most famous of its forty or so black rhinos, famous for his age but probably more so for his magnificent horns which made him so easily recognisable from the rest. Karanja was the oldest rhino in the reserve, and died of natural causes yesterday at the age of about 44. He was one of five founding originals of the Solio Game Reserve in Laikipia, established for the conservation of rhinos in 1970, before making the Maasai Mara his home. He was a rare living link from an era when rhinos were still common, and just as much as it was a privilege to see him his natural surroundings, it becomes a relief to now know he completed his life naturally. The rangers removed his horns and left his body to nature. 3:00pm: A little news to add to my post today is that I believe Karanja is now on his way to Nairobi to be preserved in a museum."  *This image is copyright of its original author
Bison bonasus
Ronald Zimmerman - Wildlife Photographer "Last night I returned from a trip to the Białowieża National Park in Poland to see the one of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain, and of course the European Bison (Bison bonasus). I have photographed more than just bisons, but I will start with a photo of a male European Bison during sunset."  *This image is copyright of its original author

Masai Mara, Kenya
An angry elephant impaled a buffalo with its tusks, tossing it high in the air, before shaking it to death. The unsuspecting buffalo had been snoozing under a tree in Masai Mara, Kenya, when a female elephant surprised him and he charged at her. After the buffalo headbutted the elephant, she retaliated by digging her tusks into the buffalo and tossing it into the air with full force. The extraordinary scene was captured by amateur photographer Kimberly Maurer  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
