Cheetahs have a precise and efficient feeding strategy. They use their sharp teeth to open prey's abdomens, targeting the substantial muscle groups on limbs, back, and neck while avoiding skin or bone. They may extract prey's intestine contents before consumption and generally do not revisit kills, though a mother with cubs may conceal a kill for later return. A single cheetah can consume up to 14 kg (30.9 lbs) of food at once, while four cheetahs can finish an impala in 15 minutes. In managed care, non-reproducing adult cheetahs typically consume around 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs) of food per day, providing approximately 1800 kcal.

In the pursuit of prey, the cheetah exhibits a vigilant and strategic demeanor, commonly observed in an alert gait while actively scanning its surroundings. Employing astute tactics, it strategically utilizes elevated vantage points, including termite mounds or low-lying tree branches, optimizing these positions to meticulously survey the terrain for prospective targets.
The hunting methodology employed by the cheetah encompasses a diverse array of techniques, intelligently adapted to the specific landscape and behavioral patterns of its intended prey. These techniques are intricately tailored to facilitate the cheetah's approach within an optimal sprinting range, typically within 50 meters or less.

Tanzania is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain globally at 5895 meters. Despite its impressive height, Kilimanjaro is considered one of the most accessible high summits globally. Climbers equipped with basic gear like a walking stick and appropriate clothing, along with determination, can reach the summit, Uhuru Peak. Climbing Kilimanjaro offers a diverse climatic experience, spanning from tropical rainforests on the lower slopes, through alpine heath, almost bare alpine desert, to the snowy Arctic summit, all just 3 degrees south of the Equator.

Topis are fascinating in how adaptable they are in their reproductive patterns. Their ability to adjust the timing of calving based on food availability demonstrates their flexibility. It's impressive that they can alter their reproductive cycle in response to abundant resources, potentially having calves at various times of the year with shorter intervals between births. And the fact that female topis can delay labor when sensing danger showcases their instincts for survival and protection. It's a remarkable strategy that allows them to adapt to their environment and ensure the safety of their offspring.

Lionesses play a crucial role in raising their cubs, providing protection, teaching them hunting skills, and nurturing them until they reach a certain age. Sub-adults are transitioning from dependence on their mothers to more independent individuals, preparing to join or establish their own pride. Both male and female lions typically reach full physical maturity by the age of three, becoming capable of hunting and surviving on their own.

While elephant poachers are only interested in the animals' tusks, it is all about what comes out of the other end of the world's largest land mammal. Elephants POO-POO is used for making paper and is a nutrient for some insects and beneficial to humans.
Elephants faeces, known as dung, is a "waste" to them, but "wealth" to some living creatures including humans. Their dung is nutrient-rich because it contains undigested food which is an important food source for beetles and related insects. The beetles, in turn, are food sources for honey badgers (an example). So, the absence of dung disrupts the food chain and other ecological functions.
The dung also contains undigested seeds. So, it serves as a form of seed dispersal as the elephants move around and defecate. The rich manure from the dung also replenishes the soil on which seeds take the advantage to grow favourably into vegetations.
Additionally, the dung is dried up and burnt to kill mosquitoes, which are vectors for many diseases including malaria. Biogas can as well be produced industrially by this nutrient-rich dung.
Finally, the eco-friendly product is used to make paper and unique, handcrafted gift and stationery products like photo frames, visitor books, post cards, shopping bags and event cards. The scrap is used to make necklaces

Awwwwww .... beyond expression

Orphaned baby gorilla rescued from poachers in the Congo.
The keepers usually sleep with the young infants as they still need the emotional support and security their mother provides -- no matter how great their "rescued" habitat is to you, it is not to them as they need almost constant nurturing physical just to live -- especially after such a traumatic event like experiencing their mother's death.

The coexistence of various antelopes and big herbivores

Africa’s abundant and iconic wildlife provides seemingly endless wonderment. For ecologists, that has extended to the persistent riddle of how the African savanna’s diverse population of herbivores — from elephants and zebras to impalas and buffalo — survive on what appears to be limited food sources: mostly grasses or mostly trees.
When tourists visit the wilds of Africa, they are truly amazed to see about 10 different species of antelope and zebras within the same area. This is often not forced (by habitat loss they are forced to share the same grazing land), but there is indeed a method to this:

The prevailing theory of how these animals coexist on the African savanna has been that different species have evolved to eat different parts of the same types of plants, For instance, some animals eat the succulent top of a grass blade, while others consume the rougher portion nearer the ground.
The zebras eat the long grass; the wildbeests and hartebeests eat their cropped grass and the hartebeest are quite selective of the grasses they eat they will not eat just any grass. And the even shorter grass or new growth is great for the impalas, springboks and gazelles.

WILSON AIRPORT
The airport was established as Nairobi West Aerodrome in 1929, by Florence Kerr Wilson, a wealthy widow. Built at a cost of £50,000 (£3.2 million in 2020), Mrs Wilson hired Tom Campbell Black, a pilot to run the airport. After the outbreak of World War 2 in 1939, the airport, its aircraft fleet and its pilots were taken over by the then colonial government and made a Royal Air Force base until after the war where it continued functioning as a civilian airport. In 1962, it was named Wilson Airport in honor of its founder who died in 1968.
The story of Nairobi’s Wilson Airport cannot be told without looking at the short love affair that blossomed between millionaire farmer Florence Kerr Wilson —whose husband had died — and a handsome twenty-something British pilot, Captain Thomas Campbell Black.
Mrs Wilson had inherited a fortune from her husband and also came from a wealthy family of ship owners in London.
Unknown to many, the story of Kenya’s aviation industry did not start in Nairobi —but in Rumuruti where a rancher had imported country’s first aeroplane nicknamed Miss Kenya. This plane was piloted by Campbell, which now explains his dalliance with all the pretty English girls in Nairobi.

Owned by John Carberry, Miss Kenya was registered on September 10, 1928 (This particular plane is currently on display in a British aircraft museum.)
Seeing the great potential there was in flying the wealthy around, Carberry registered a new company, Kenya Aircraft Company Ltd, and bought a second aircraft, which he christened Miss Africa.
It was aboard Miss Africa, a Fokker Universal, that Campbell and Mrs Wilson met on a four-day journey from London to Nanyuki.
Campbell was known to thrill women with the Fokker Universal — and was always willing to train them how to fly. A few months after this flight from London, he resigned from Carberry’s company and went to start an aircraft company with Mrs Wilson who had injected 50,000 pounds into the new start-up, a colossal amount at the time.
At the Junction of Ngong Road and Naivasha Road, near what is now The Junction Shopping Mall, Mrs Wilson opened her Wilson Airways office. The land was plain and had a grazing field. It was in this field that her first plane, a single-engine De Havilland –- known as The Moth— landed. It also had a nickname —Knight of the Mist.
Campbell was the chief pilot and the managing director of the new company. It was both out of his love for Mrs Wilson and the thrill of flying. He delivered mail all over East Africa, and at times watched over his brother’s farm in Rongai, which the duo had started after Campbell abandoned law studies in the UK.
Wilson Airways grew big. And in the meantime, Campbell fell in love with another Nairobi socialite known as Beryl Markham. He not only taught Beryl how to fly, but the two would become the talk of Nairobi. Beryl would later write her experiences in the book, West with the Night, which critics always claimed was ghost written for her.
Whether it was as a result of this romance that Campbell left Wilson Airways is not clear. What is known is that in 1933 he left Nairobi and ended the romantic relationship with Beryl to become the personal pilot for a UK horse breeder, Lord Marmaduke Furness.
Having been left with an airline which she had no idea to run, Mrs Wilson started struggling to maintain it. Meanwhile, Campbell became a big name and participated in various international air races and ended up marrying a famous English actress, Florence Desmond, in 1936. A year later, Campbell died in an air race crash.
Back in Nairobi, Wilson Airways was struggling — though still returning profits. By this time, it had shifted to what would become Nairobi West Aerodrome as a pioneer. The fleet had grown to 17 aircraft, the first air ambulance and a training school. Her clientele included wealthy personalities such as William Kissam Vanderbilt, a New York railroad millionaire, and the British Royal family. Then the World War II started and the government confiscated all her aircraft, and incorporated the pilots within the Kenya Auxiliary Air Unit.
Mrs Wilson, who had a home in Karen, watched as her dream was taken over. Wilson Airways was not only closed, but became part of the Royal Air Force and operated next to the military base at Langata.
It is on the grounds it stood that the self-government in 1962 sent its minister for Commerce and Communications, Mr Masinde Muliro, to go and perform one last rite— renaming the Nairobi West Aerodrome as Wilson Airport.
Mrs Wilson was present when the plaque was unveiled. Six years, later in September 1968, she died in Karen.
But Wilson Airport lives on
