Common Zebra Meets Rare Rhino In Ngorongoro


A common zebra feeds as a rare black rhino rests at the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania

One of the most fascinating aspects about spending time in the Ngorongoro Crater, is being able to witness how wildlife coexist in this 260 square kilometer ecosystem.  

Both predator and prey of similar and different species, compete with each other for food, water, space and mates as they live out their lives in an enclosed natural habitat that is virtually surrounded by a sheer wall over 600 meters high. Imagine yourself being in this enormous colosseum, where the circle of life plays out each and every day and you are right there with a front row seat to witness the spectacle... that is the beauty of ngorongoro conservation area, a place where both the common and the rare, can interestingly live out their lives together.

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.
