I went down to the Mara River only once, because the migrating herds had moved on early this year, and luckily caught a full fledged Hippo territorial fight. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Kenya2018/Mara-201 80914-7590.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Kenya2018/Mara-201 80914-8086.jpg.html *A warning for the second scene. Those whose sense of morality tends to be ruffled by raw nature may please move on.* The second was a first for me - Elephants, mating at close range - the noise was deafening, as the whole herd was trumpeting, and the huge bull looked likely to trample all over our vehicle, let alone the placid female. The dimorphism between the sexes in terms of size was unbelievable! Awesome and Majestic! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Kenya2018/Mara-201 80911-3086.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Kenya2018/Mara-201 80911-3173.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Kenya2018/Mara-201 80911-3222-Edit.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Kenya2018/Mara-201 80911-3238.jpg.html Please see LARGE Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome.
