Let's introduce Amboseli National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya.
These beautiful African bush elephants often cross the vast savannahs of Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Amboseli National Park is famed for its elephant populations and views of Mount Kilimanjaro on the horizon, known as the Great White Mountain to local tribes. Measuring 5,895 metres above sea level, it is the highest volcano in Africa and the Eastern Hemisphere and is also the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Olive baboons, civets, leopards, mongooses and servals are said to live in the forest that cover the mountain’s lower slopes, but to see the peaceful creatures in today’s image you’ll have to book a safari. And while the park is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants, habitat loss and poaching for ivory have severely impacted the populations of the bush elephant and its cousin the forest elephant, which roams the nearby foothills of Kilimanjaro.

As they are non-migratory birds, mute swan pairs usually remain on the same breeding ground year-round unless they are forced to relocate due to challenging conditions.
Young swans are called cygnets and look very different than the adults they will become. Cygnets have dull grey down and dark bills. At about a year old, their feathers turn white and their bills orange. The transformation is part of the premise of the famous fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling”, about a forlorn duckling who discovers he is actually a swan. Admiring the … 5 replies
