Olive Baboon – For Now I’ll Just Peek

Olive Baboon

For Now I’ll Just Peek Though I may be weeI’m quite safe, you see.When I hitch a rideI don’t need to hide.As time moves alongthis youngster gets strong.Soon I will exploreand walk lowland floor.But until the dayI make my own way,it’s safety I seek.For now I’ll just peek.A mighty baboonI will be quite soon. ~ Poem and Olive Baboon capture, For Now I’ll Just Peek © Jerry L.

Cape Gannet – A Cacophony on Steroids

Cape Gannet

A Cacophony on Steroids The din was disquieting in the Cape Gannet rookery as thousands of these strikingly handsome sea birds quarreled for real estate from which to breed and rear their young — a cacophony on steroids.  ~ Anecdote and Cape Gannet capture, A Cacophony on Steroids © Jerry L.

African Lions – A Typical Feline Gesture

African Lions

A Typical Feline Gesture On a crisp morning in Kenya’s East Masai Mara, a pride of African Lions idly basked in the warming rays of a radiant sun. When finished playing with its mother’s wiggling tail tip, a rambunctious youngster proceeded toward the fore-end of the patient parent cat and gently rubbed its chin and malar glands on the lioness’ face … in a typical feline gesture. ~ Anecdote and African Lions capture, A Typical Feline Gesture © Jerry L.
