Apr 9 - The Plains

Travelled with John. Found 3 lion brothers sleeping off the day. They hunt at night due to better eyesight.

Found two cheetah bursting full of meat on the bank of marsh area. Found another dead nearby, no idea how it died, but recently.




Saw secretary birds, then martial eagle, largest in Africa.





Watched giraffe chewing cud, and swallowing , then another bit pumps up throat for chewing. Cool. They have 4 stomachs. Ran across a group of hyena. Rained out for the 16h00 short trip. Leslie gave an impromptu lecture on lions that was fascinating. Good dinner and bed around 20h00.
