Today is international cheetah day

Did you know that less than 7000 Cheetah remain in the wild today? We need to do everything that we can to change the world to save the Cheetah! ..the most amazing of all of the big cats, and they seem to have it toughest. Habitat destruction, reducing territories, with successful kills regularly stolen by bigger predators, and with a cub survival rate that sees their numbers continue to dwindle

My last post was about a gentleman’s fight, todays is quite brutal
Oryx’s engage in some of the most brutal fights I have seen in the wild, stabbing each other repeatedly as if they don’t feel pain.
We recently came upon this pair and at first they seemed to be sizing up each other then in the blink of an eye they were raising dust in a serious fight.
One tripped and was pinned to the ground and pushed into some acacia thorns where he laid down in total submission as the winner kept a close eye on him.
It didn’t take long for Oxpeckers to find the free flowing blood usually packaged in ticks.

Their horn is their dilemma. Let us not let them slip into extinction

Of the 28,000 rhinos left in the world, about 2500 which is almost 10% of the world total are in Kenya.
At the beginning of the 20th century there were 500,000 rhinos in the world

The first Saturday of every September is celebrated as International Vulture Awareness Day. Vultures are an ecologically important group of birds that play critical roles in maintaining the health of ecosystems. Unfortunately they face a wide range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction.
In Kenya, six out of the eight vulture species are classified as Threatened, while four are considered Critically Endangered.

On this World Elephant Day let’s not forget that each elephant is an individual and has their own personality. They are intelligent, compassionate, loving and family oriented. They celebrate births and they mourn their dead.

Elephants are not commodities.
