Yeah, right. My mistake. 
Thanks bud. Lol, those lions had anything but. The pic of them drinking is deceiving because of the angle of them leaning down. It’s the same males nuzzling and walking above that. Full bellies swaying as they walked. They’re known as the Nsemani males. The white male (known as Casper), of which there are only 3 in the wild with him being the only mature male, and his 3 brothers are known as the Shishangaan males with their territory bordering that of the Nsemani with both being around the Satara area. The pics of each coalition were taken exactly a week apart, the Shishangaan being the first on the day we got to Satara and the Nsemani the day we left. In the intervening week, the two Nsemani apparently, according to the guides at camp, gave two of the Shishangaan, including Casper, a right beating with one Shishangaan particularly badly injured. Those two are absolute brutes.
The main body of our trip was at Satara in the central region with a night at Skukuza at the start and end purely because of the distances involved in getting to and from the Park. In all I drove 11h30m with two 15 minute breaks just to get to the Malelane gate going with another 90 minutes in the Park to get to our overnight stop at Skukuza. The return journey was a slightly longer 14 hour jaunt in total.
@Iftikhar That is a baobab and my favorite tree. That isn’t the Glencoe Baobab but is the southernmost baobab in the Kruger and is always one of my stops when I am there. It’s almost as large as the Glencoe and probably is in the same age group so I estimate at least 1500 years old. I was at varying distances to the lions, and leopards in picture. I tend not to live through a lens, so to speak, and I prefer to enjoy the moment and take pics as and when the opportunity presents so I suppose I could have got real close up pics but then the moment has invariably passed while you’re holding a camera which isn’t so clever imho. The Nsemani males were about 10m away at the closest, the Shishangaan were about 50m and relaxing. The lioness contact calling was roaring full out right next to my vehicle while the pride with the subadult male crossed the road about 3m away and the lioness with the eyes was 3m away from us.

Is this for real??? 
My dog (bless her soul) would count how many pellets of treats (dried dog food) we gave her. If it was 1 less, she would complain in her own way.
Also, probably with biological clock(?), she would remind us for her flea and tick control pills at the beginning of each month! Don’t believe that those were my family’s imaginations.

Possibly. Photoshoped to within an inch of its life but I’ve seen other photos of cloud formations like that
Has anyone ever seen something like that? This must be photoshopped like crazy… if it’s real though, it’s just
This makes me think about something I saw eighteen months ago or so. I was on the road, on the passenger’s seat, and took these with my phone. It was just during five minutes or so, the sun was settling:

I also had to look it up when I first saw the pic. It’s 100% authentic.

The look in that toad’s eyes is even more terrifying than Jabba the Hut’s…
