Gazelle's Running, Jumping and Racing Eachother

 


Gazelles Running Race Each Other.
Towards the end of the day safari in tsavo east we came across these really energetic gazelles running and racing each other. It was like watching a sporting event, one would sprint and jump while the others watched on, and after finishing its display, the next one would try to out do the other one. Gazelles run at a speed of 95km/hr so its was really action packed to watch them.

But why is the lions tongue so rough and how is this beneficial? The reason for its roughness is that the surface of the lions tongue is covered in many tiny spines called papillae, which are further divided into 3 types namely; Filiform, Fungiform and Vallate papillae. The cats filiform papillae which is located on the tongues dorsal surface, is the main reason for the roughness, and these can also be compared to barbs since they face backwards in the direction of the throat.  Having a barbed tongue is beneficial to the lion for a number of reasons.

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.
