Tanzania Day 5 Life and Death

It was a normal breakfast start of bacon, eggs, toast, juice and fruit then off to the Serengeti After driving back into the park (30 mins), we came upon a herd of Cape Buffalo with an hours old calf. It was wobbly but could walk.Mom had some of the afterbirth hanging out but seemed OK New babies are cute! A half hour later we came upon the body of a young giraffe that had been killed by a small pride of lions during the night. It was partially eaten and the lions were resting under the trees, guarding the kill while digesting their meal. Life and death!

   Afterward we saw baboons, vultures, a kingfisher, more hippos and a tortoise! Many animals fear the mongoose because it will  jujum jumps up and bites the scrotum of the antelopes and buffalo so they give it a LOT of respect!

   We moved from our little prison cell of a room to an enormous room with a great porch.
