Why Celebrate World Elephant Day

Elephants roaming freely in the Tsavo Wilderness
Elephants young and old, are among the favorite of all animals that visitors look forward to experience during our safaris. So to appreciate the existence and beauty of these magnificent pachyderms, a global World Elephant Day is celebrated on the 12th of August annually. 

The importance of World Elephant Day, is not just to highlight this mammals daily struggle to exist against poaching, human wildlife conflict, climate change and loss of habitat, but rather, it is an opportunity for people of the world to feel motivated and directly participate in the conservation of these beautiful animals. There are a number of ways to celebrate World Elephant Day; by spreading awareness, supporting conservation organizations, lobbying government for better protection, donating equipment and supplies to rangers and by trying to stop the ivory trade.

How will you be celebrating World Elephant Day?

 Best Regards,

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.
