Well, at the end - or more at the beginning - not the time but oneself would have get killed by her, unfortunately!<br />But also the buffalo babies look cute although I know they are everything - but not cute... Funny the buffalo with all legs up!<br />Great pictures again Chad. Thanks for keep us informed how things are going on in the bush!<br />ClaudiaClaudia Isabelle Manighttp://www.cranio-heilung.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775438753174835106.post-35261649595762090882011-02-09T16:03:02.757+02:002011-02-09T16:03:02.757+02:00Hi

She really is a stunner with those eyes, and I loved the Photos of the Buffs wallowing you can tell thet are really enjoying it. I had to laugh at the one rolloing over on its back.

@laikipia...thank...thanks again for the comments:)<br /><br />@laikipia...thank you so much! i use a canon 1DmkIII with a canon 500 f4 lens, as well as a canon 1DmkIIN with a sigma 120-300f2.8 lens - its all the camera's work, not mine :)<br /><br />@lourens - i was great to see some golden light again i must say!<br /><br />@SM - i am sorry that i havent got around to adding Thumbela's profile yet, but will get there soon! she is still a dependent cub, only 14 months old, so will be with mom for a few more months...there is one male in the south, but i dont actually suspect he is her father...since Mangadjane male was killed in 2009, no dominant males have set themselves up, an we dont know who thumbela's father is...<br /><br />will add more profiles in time :)<br /><br />thanks again!Chad Cockingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775438753174835106.post-9874534830357374332011-02-09T13:01:33.921+02:002011-02-09T13:01:33.921+02:00Well Chad you have done it again, fabulous photos ...Well Chad you have done it again, fabulous photos and brilliant update!<br /><br />Is their a male in the area for Thumbela?
