Sequence Of Photo's When A Hornbill Hunt's Insects


Life in the wilderness is a constant battle for survival. There is a famous african quote which goes: “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve."

With the circle of life always in motion, there is no shortage of footage available where one species or another is on the hunt. Keeping a sharp eye out, you will be surprised at the plethora of photo opportunities available on your safari. Take this Red Billed Hornbill in Tsavo for example, with some patience i was able to get some wonderful photos as it rummaged for insects in a dead tree stump.



The way this Red Billed Hornbill was sitting on this dead tree stump, i knew it was up to something



Red Billed Hornbill jumps a level lower to take a peak inside the tree stump



Red Billed Hornbill possibly heard and saw some movement so decided to get closer inside the dead tree stump

Wild Animals Pooping

When nature calls how do different animals handle their business, every animal poops differently. A couple of videos of some wildlife going to the bathroom when nature calls. Every species had different shapes and sizes of stools which can also be used to identify them like you do with tracks in the sand. #wildlife #animals #wildkenyasafaris Watch Wildlife Videos on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/shazaadkasmani I Edit Wildlife Photos On Luminar: https://macphun.evyy.net/KWVna Buy Wildlife Photography Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/shazaadkasmani Get your Wildlife Photography Shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/shazaadkasmani Signup for Photography Tips: https://www.patreon.com/shazaadkasmani Book a Wildlife Safari: https://www.wildkenyasafaris.com

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
