Male Ostrich with chicks in Tsavo East. Over the weekend, it seems papa Ostrich took the kids out for some sightseeing. The little family was spotted happily wandering alog one of the many roads inside the tsavo east national park.

Close up of dominant lioness in tsavo east One of my all time favorite lion prides that i have the pleasure of monitoring in Tsavo East National Park is the Aruba Pride of Lions. It is currently the largest and also the most entertaining group of big cats around simply because there are alot of cubs and sub-adults.

With bellies full, two lionesses that were fast asleep looked ever so comfortable with their legs facing up to the skies.
