Rare Melanistic Serval Cat Spotted At Lumo Sanctuary In Kenya

A melanistic serval cat stealthily walks through the grass in Lumo Sanctuary Taita Kenya

Finding a melanistic serval cat or any kind of big cat for that matter in their natural habitat that's melanistic is truly a rare and blessed event. This shy and extremely reserved feline would have quietly slipped away from us were it not for the help of a sharp pair of eyes from another cat... a Cheetah!

While on a game drive in Lumo Sanctuary, we spotted a cheetah resting on a termite mound and decided to spend some quality photographic time with it. After about 20 minutes or so, i noticed that the body language of the resting cheetah had suddenly changed, and as i looked towards the direction that this cheetah was concentrating on, saw a small tuft of black ears cutting through the grass like a sharks fin would over water.

The cheetah having pointed us to the direction of this rare serval cat lost quickly interest and continued with its nap. We on the other hand, were thoroughly excited about the find and i managed to get a few snaps of this beautiful animal as it quietly moved along getting deeper in to the grassy wilderness.

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.
