Hiraxes are herbivorous mammals. Adult hyraxes are about 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 inches) long and weigh about 4 to 5 kg (9 to 11 pounds). It is believed that they are related to the elephants but recently this theory is challenged. Kenya 1981. (Africa)

This shot was taken while I was crossing a causeway across one of the parks swamps. The young elephant was stuffing its face with fresh greens.

I've been playing with my DCR-250 again attached to my 100mm macro. The very shallow DoF can be challenging, but also offers a unique softness, like in this shot. Hope you enjoy it!

Green Flower Crab Spider in wait on a white daisy.

This solitary spotted Hyena was desperate to approach a nearby carcass, but knew that there was a pride of lions sleeping out of sight in the bushes about 15 feet away. In the end, the Hyena just didn’t feel safe enough and left with an empty stomach.
