in contrast to the large waders featured on the previous page, many of
the myriad smaller wetland birds are shy skulkers that often thwart even
the most ardent birdwatchers. The purple gallinule. Porphyrio porphyrio
(2), is one such species, though it has an extremely distinctive
characteristic: if you were to hear the strange shrieks, grunts, groans
and cackles which emanate from its hiding-place in the rushes around
a swamp or marsh, and which sometimes culminate in an explosion of
bubbling sounds, you could be forgiven for thinking that a wild o**y
was in progress.
For half of the year the male red bishop, Euplectes orix (1), is
streaked a dull buff and dark brown, but during the breeding season it
has brilliant scarlet and black breeding plumage and this, together with
its frenetic cruising flight, makes it look for all the world like a giant
bumblebee. These birds are highly gregarious and breeding colonies
are a flutter of excitement in the reeds and sedges along water
courses. Despite their attractiveness, they are far from popular in many
farming areas, where their seed-eating habits can cause much
damage to grain crops.
Some kingfishers are primarily insect eaters but the malachite
kingfisher, Alcedo cristata (3), eats just about any water creature small
enough for it to swallow, including fish, tadpoles and crustaceans. This
small, brilliant blue- and chestnut-coloured bird is confined to flowing
waterways and may be seen bobbing on a low perch. When disturbed,
it will disappear quickly around a river bend, flying low and straight.

Time to reflect: Wii we see more tigers in the future?
religions and cultures. This can be traced
back 5 000 years to the Indus people,
in what is now Pakistan, as well as the
Hindu and Buddhist religions. Tigers
have come to symbolise power, and their
image is used in many fields, from
national crests to cereal commercials.
Sadly, the tiger faces extinction today,
due to illegal poaching, the loss of much
of its habitat and prey, and retaliation for
attacks on farmers' livestock. The main
reason for poaching is the continued
demand for tiger parts, especially for
traditional medicines,
Therefore,
to coincide with the
Chinese Year of the Tiger, WWP has
dedicated 1998 to the conservation of
this magnificent animal. In Chinese

The Puff adder is a venomous viper species found in Namibia and on to Windhoek This snake is responsible for causing the most snakebite fatalities in Africa owing to various factors, such as its wide distribution, frequent occurrence in highly populated regions, and aggressive disposition. The color pattern of Puff adders varies geographically. Their head has two well-marked dark bands: one on the crown and the other between the eyes. On the sides of the head, there are two oblique dark bands or bars that run from the eye to the supralabials. Below, the head is yellowish-white with scattered dark blotches. Dorsally, the ground-color varies from straw yellow, to light brown, to orange or reddish-brown. This is overlaid with a pattern of 18-22 backwardly-directed, dark brown to black bands that extend down the back and tail. Usually, these bands are roughly chevron-shaped but maybe more U-shaped in some areas. They also form 2-6 light and dark cross-bands on the tail. Some populations are heavily flecked with brown and black, often obscuring other coloration, giving the animal a dusty-brown or blackish appearance. The belly is yellow or white, with a few scattered dark spots. Newborn young have golden head markings with pinkish to reddish ventral plates toward the lateral edges.

The lions in Moremi (5) spend most of their
time in somnolent relaxation, often in positions
thoroughly inappropriate to these kings of the
beasts
- a male lion was once seen propped
against a tree and, too lazy to get up, urinating
in a high stream over his sleeping females.
They can, however, move incredibly quickly if
disturbed. Males tend to wander: it is the
lioness that provides the nucleus of a pride,
and she seldom ventures far from home base.
Lions will eat anything from rodents and
carrion to elephants and humans but they are
essentially dependent on the availability of
medium-sized prey such as waterbuck (2),
zebra (3) and lechwe (6).🐅

Drinking has the same effect but for some reason, the lioness body responds within an hour and the male only within two hours reasons for this are not know all though the weight of the male at 228Kg versus that of the female at 127Kg may pay a role it is said that lions will lie like honey in the sun during the day when they do this they are noy lazy they are in fact controlling their body temperature!!!?

That brings us to the there last most dangerous animals in our ranking the puff Adder is considered to be Africa's deadliest snake because it is responsible for the most human fatalities puff Adders reach an average length of around 1 meter, and they're solidly built with a wide girth. The puff Adder has large fangs and its venom is powerful enough to kill a grown man with a single bite puff adders are slow moving and since they are well camouflaged between grasses and bushes most bites occur when humans step on them by accident..🤗 travel Africans.com

In second place.
The mosquito, spreading malaria and thereby killing over a million Africans every year, most of them children under the age of five. Malaria is only spread by the female Anopheles mosquito which is most active around dawn and dusk in fact there are approximately 3500 species of mosquito flying around and their average life-span is about two weeks. Good advice is to always use insect repellant, and wear long sleeved tops and trousers in the evening 🤗
