they were too big and thick necked to be zebras, brownish with dark manes and tails. IS there a wild horse in AFrica? I am going to have to get a species book. I want to know what the black faced monkey is too. I shared this link with some of my friends and one of them e-mailed me this info.

that's the end of the e-mail
I watched two young impalas play battling with their tiny short horns. I am going to have to get my sketch pad out and do some gesture drawings to see if i can incorporate in clay. There is nothing better then drawing from life.
Seems the best time for me to watch for the most animals is sundown. From 7 am to around 10 am. I thought dawn would be too but there is seldom anything to see. I wonder since there seems to be less animals when it is raining if there will be more as the dry season there approaches. I was fascinated with the baby baboons, couldn't tear myself away! The older ones were so gentle with the "toddlers" and i liked the way they all "lounged" in the grass as the day slipped away. I am so in love with this site!
Be careful Jess this is so addictive. My first time of viewing was a whole field of youngster impalas with their parents. They made Victor look slow! SOmething scared them at one point and zipppppp they were all gone in the blink of an eye.
hehehe there are two little ones play battling again. I can't believe but they must be the little ones i first saw. They have grown so fast.
