THE WARTHOG – Phacochoerus aethiopicus by Magaret Meintjes
Nikon D50 / 2008/09/11 13:04:43.4 / Image Size: 3900×2400 / Lens: / Focal Length: 300mm / Exposure Mode: / Metering Mode: Multi-Pattern / 1/500 sec – F/5.6 / Exposure Comp.: 0 EV / WARTHOG – Phacochoerus aethiopicus / LOCATION CAPTURED: GROENLAND GAME LODGE, Limpopo Province, South Africa SHOULDER HEIGHT: 72cm / MASS: 68-72kg / GESTATION: 160 – 170 days; average litter 3-4 piglets The warthog is a gregarious, diurnal animal that lives in abandoned aardvark holes. / It enters its hole backwards, a protective measure which enables it to make a quick escape. The male has two pairs of warts. The pair on the muzzle is absent in the female. The warthog is fond of wallowing and rubbing its mud-covered body on stumps, rocks and tree trunks. Its habit of rooting for grass rhizomes often leads to the creation of a wallow. Sight is poor although it has good scent and hearing. / When approached a warthog will often advance towards you, running off only when certain what you are. / It falls prey to lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. / DIET: Grass, roots, bulbs and tubers. Will eat fruit, although it favors short grass. It feeds by resting on its front knees. Requires water daily. /

THE AUTUMN BANANA SQUIRREL by Magaret Meintjes
Nikon D50 / 2008/09/07 16:04:32.4 / Image Size: 3900×2700 / Lens: / Focal Length: 300mm / Exposure Mode: / Metering Mode: Multi-Pattern / 1/400 sec – F/5.6 / Exposure Comp.: 0 EV / Sensitivity: ISO 200 LOCATION CAPTURED: / GROELAND SAFARI’S & GAME LODGE, Tolwe, Limpopo Province, South Africa. / THE TREE SQUIRREL – Paraxerus cepapi These all brown diurnal squirrels, with lighter underparts, are a common feature of the drier savannah bushveld and woodland. Their undulating run along the ground and rapid passage up into a tree are both common sight. / These small animals are usually solitary but pairs, or a small party of a female and two young, may be seen. However, groups of two adult males or females, accompanied by sub-adults, or in the breeding season as many as seven young live together. They will mob a predator, vocalizing a penetrating clicking sound and flicking their tails, while sitting on a safe vantage point. Should the danger increase so will the intensity of the clicking, which will rise to a harsh rattle, while the tail-flickering tempo is similarity increased? In extreme danger they will utter a high pitched whistle. / A common sight in the bushveld is an individual about to enter a nesting hole and being confronted by the occupant, Nose to nose a mutual sniffing will ensure and, if the visitor is from the same group, it will be allowed to visit, but if not, will be chased off. / They are very agile in their arboreal habitat, able to leap for distances up to two meters. They forage on the ground and when disturbed tend to head for their nesting hole, which may mean leaping from tree to tree, they also habitually lie flat on a branch, relying on camouflage and waiting for the danger to pass. They also tend to place themselves behind a branch or tree trunk away from perceived danger. / Their nests are in holes in trees, generally made by woodpeckers; these are grass and leaf lined. Their vocalization, apart from the alarms, is a long drawn-out ‘tchuk-tchuk-tchuk’ interspersed with single ‘tchuks’, which are accompanied by tail-flicking. / Enemies are mongooses, caracal, genets, larger birds of prey and pythons. One two three, usually two, young are produced. / FOOD: They are predominantly vegetarians, eating flowers, leaves, bark, fruit and tender shoots of a wide variety of trees. Both sexes bury hard food, such as nuts, in scattered localities. They are very secretive about doing this and never do so in the presence of another squirrel, despite this stealing does take place.

Gemini Boys Have Heart by Michael J Armijo
I saw these guys in a specialty antique store window in Venice, California. They seemed inseparable. And being the GEMINI that I am….I had to imprint the memory of the dynamic duo. :)

Forest Scorpion by Esther van de Belt
This creature I found in the bush yesterday. I had taken a few shots of it and then all of a sudden it got sick of me and before I realised he attacked my camera. I reckon I came to close for him. LOL It worked because after that he attacked me, I stayed away and moved further along the track looking for more interesting things. / / Image taken with my Fuji Film FinePix camera. S5700 Scorpions are easily distinguished by their long sting-bearing tail and a pair of pincers on long arms, known as pedipalps, at the front of the body. Despite having six to twelve eyes – an obvious pair at the centre of the carapace and two to five smaller eyes on each side – scorpions do not have good eyesight. However, they can readily distinguish light from dark and appear to have excellent low light sensitivity, which helps them to both avoid harsh sunlight and to navigate by starlight or moonlight. They sense their way around using sensory hairs and slit organs on the legs, pedipalps and body that pick up vibrations and scents (mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors). They also have special organs on the underside of the body called pectines, which pick up ground textures and scents. Scorpions breathe through four pairs of book lungs on the underside of the abdomen. Female scorpions are more heavily built than males, with shorter tails. Colour ranges from dark grey to light brown or gold, with lighter coloured legs. Scorpions also fluoresce under ultraviolet light, which is a good way for scientists to find them in the field. The fluorescence is thought to serve as an ultraviolet sensitivity mechanism, perhaps allowing the scorpion to avoid damaging light levels. Australian scorpions can give a painful sting but are not considered dangerous. First aid for a sting is to apply a cold pack and to seek medical aid if pain persists. It is also a good idea to try to catch the scorpion and have it identified. The scorpion usually seen in houses is the small Marbled Scorpion.
