This is a collection of the other animals (not birds) I photographed during the trip to Tanzania in 2021. The ones that need positive identification are at the top. They should sort by name (in the caption). There are a few more I need to add. You can learn more about the mammals, insects, and plants by viewing my observations on iNaturalist.
African Bush Elephant, Long tusker. This elephant was just inside the gate to Tarangire NP and had the longest tusks seen by our guide. Standing still and I couldn't get a clean shot.
African Bush Elephant -At cocktail hour on our last night a herd of elephants wandered onto the property to drink from the pools. The pools can be refilled remotely, which they were. We toured the grounds the next day and could see elephant damage. They can be very destructive.
Caracal, Michael spotted this caracal as it crossed the road. We waited for bit to see if it would wander out where I could get a photo - and he/she did just that.
Cheetah. I took many photos of the field trying to spot the cheetah. It was beyond were I could se clearly. Finally he/she got up to look around and it caught a photo. It was a day full of big cats - my favorites.
Grant's Zebra. They often look pregnant, but some are male so that isn't the case. They have special digestive enzymes allowing them to eat grass others can't digest. I guess that gives them the look of bloat.
Grant's Zebra and Lions - We watched this group of lions for some time to see if they were going to hunt the zebra. Nope. The little one started to play.
Grant’s Zebra - If you ever wondered if zebra are black with white hair or white with black hair, this photo seems to show that their skin is black under the hair.
Lion - These two were mating. The lioness would roll on her tummy and the male would do his thing, roll off and wait for the next time. Apparently they do this many times for a couple days.
Lion - Three male and two female lions took some time to drink from puddles near the road. I think there was a water pump station nearby and the puddles were runoff.
Lion. When she confirmed it was dead, the lioness wandered off to rest in the shade of another tree nearby. Our guide said they often wait a full day before eating the catch. Look at the muscles and wounds.
Maasai Giraffe butts. This type of giraffe is endangered and is the largest subspecies. Native to East Africa. It has distinctive, irregular, jagged, star-like blotches that extend to the hooves.
Vervet Monkey, with baby. There was a large community of these in the area behind our lodge. They are ubiquitous and curious. They will try to steal from the safari vehicles and have been known to leave a present (poop) on the seat if they can't find anything they like. Roof closed, windows up!
