Reader Mark Jones sent in some African photos taken by his friends; Mark’s notes are indented, and the photos are high-resolution, so click to enlarge.
I enjoyed the Namibia photos you posted last year, and my friends Keith and Alison Thompson have recently returned from there too, with some lovely photos. They gave me permission to send some in.
Burchell’s zebra (Equus quagga burchellii):
South African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus):
Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis):
Lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus):
Springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis):
And finally, a sand dune panorama; spot the people!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
“The specific epithet marsupialis comes from the Latin marsupium (“pocket”); it refers to a pocket-like skin flap which extends along the midline of the back from the tail.” – I always wondered!
thanks for sharing…
The Lilac-Breasted Roller is beautiful.
Beautiful scenes! Thank you.
Wonderful photos, I particularly like the zebra pic. 🙂
