Kalahari Desert 2014

The Kalahari lion is the only one with...
is the only one with a black mane (crinière)
it has a full belly from last night kill.
this female kudu runs away
while a springbok stares at us
the rain season brings morning colors to the desert...
where few trees grow
but flowers blossom
a big male Kori Bustard (outarde) goes by
water attracts hundred of birds
this small Stinbok stares at me...
scratches his back
the ground squirrel fears raptors
like the bateleur eagle
he swells his tail...
to shade from the burning sun
Oryxes to their mating ritual
looked upon by this double band curser (échassier?)
Will the Oryx chase the cheetahs (guépards) from the shade?
