TOUGH ZEBRA LOVE
"I've seen this scenario many times over. It happens mostly when the female/mare is giving birth for the first time. If it wasn't the male/stallion father, it would have killed the foul as soon as that placenta kissed the ground to ensure the female comes to heat for mating as soon as possible. The stallion is also protecting the foal from the confused mare that has just experienced giving birth for the first time. Although it looks cruel, that foul has been handed a chance to live by its father after rousing it to take its first breath and encouraging it to stand up and walk, which is normal for Zebras as they move all the time alongside Wildebeest."- Comment
MAKGADIKGADI, THE LARGEST SALT PAN IN THE WORLD BOTSWANA 🇧🇼
The Makgadikgadi Pan, a salt pan situated in the middle of the dry savanna of north-eastern Botswana, is one of the largest salt flats in the world. The pan is all that remains of the formerly enormous Lake Makgadikgadi, which once covered an area larger than Switzerland, but dried up tens of thousands of years ago
The Makgadikgadi pans are among the largest in the world, with Ntwetwe Pan measuring approximately 75 miles (120 km) east-west and 100 miles (160 km)
northeast-southwest and the smaller Sowa Pan about 45 miles (70 km) wide and 70 miles (110 km) long.
MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
1.A layer of blue-green algae grows in the pans. Several big flocks of flamingos come to feed upon it.
2.Best wildlife viewing moths near the river area. Wildebeest and herds of Zebra migrate toward the Boteti River for water. The migraine is an annual spectacle that attracts tourists from around the world.
3.Makgadikgadi Epic.
A sports and adventure tourism event with activities such as Skydiving and tandem jumps, Fun Quad biking, horse riding and camping held annually in mid July.

THE HONEY BADGER 🦡
1. The honey badger’s name means “honey eater of the cape.” These little monsters love the sweet stuff. “The cape” is the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, one area where the animal lives (they can also be found in the Middle East and India). Another one of their names is ratel, an Afrikaans word that according to the Oxford English Dictionary might be derived from the Dutch word for honeycomb, raat. (An alternate etymology ties the name to the Dutch word for "rattle," which could relate to one of the noises the honey badger makes).
2. They’re solitary weasels.
Honey badgers are in the same family as weasels, and honey badgers are pretty solitary. According to some sources, they only come together to mate (some older studies, however, suggest that the animals can live in pairs). Honey badgers typically have one kit (and sometimes two), which is raised solely by the female, who takes care of it until it's a year or two old.
3. Honey badgers look like skunks.
Aside from their physical similarities, the honey badger also boasts a gland at the base of its tail containing a stinky liquid. Generally, it’s used to mark territory and scare bees away from hives, but should the animal find itself in distress, its biological knee-jerk is to release what the San Diego Zoo calls a "stink bomb" (unlike skunks, they don't spray).
4. Honey badgers are excellent diggers.
Using their long claws, honey badgers dig burrows to rest in, sometimes on a daily basis. They’ll do it anywhere—in the ground, in a tree trunk, or even into an old termite mound. If needed, they can dig themselves a hiding hole in a matter of minutes and use their natural excavation skills to capture prey underground.
5. Honey Badgers Will set up shop in Another animal's den. If a honey badger isn’t in the mood to make its own bed, it’s not shy about making itself at home in someone else’s residence. The creatures have been known to get comfortable in the dens of
