game drive

Went on a game drive through the Mosi-oa-Tunya park (mist that thunders aka Victoria Falls Park). Vervet monkeys, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, impala, crocodiles, birds, termite (hills), the top of one hippo, waterbuck, all made an appearance for our viewing pleasure. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us all kinds of facts about the wildlife. Examples: impala can put their pregnancy on hold if conditions are unfavorable for up to 4 times the normal gestation period…giraffe don’t need much water and what they do need is normally gotten from the leaves they eat because the pressure of the blood if they lower their head below their heart for any extended time would kill them…also, they only sleep about 8 minutes at a time (for the same reason)…sadly no rhinos or elephants or large cats (they don’t have any large cats due to the size of the park).
