THE HIPPO POOL AT THE MARA RIVER

Mittwoch, den 14. März 2012 um 10:00 Uhr Geschrieben von: Gordon

Reporting Date: 14th March 2012

The hippo pool at Mara river.

The level of the water in the Mara river has gone down tremendously in recent days forcing the hippos to look for the few deeper stretches available. Here they would congregate in large numbers. On this day, about 500 individuals were seen at about mid-day. Normally each group of hippo occupies a favorite part of the river as their home range and territory and would defend it from intruders but circumstances have forced them to come together and share resources. At night they move out to graze silently on the grasslands surrounding the rivers but come back to the pool during the day where the males would be herd making deep laughter-like noises.

. Hyenas of Lamai plains.

In the middle of the vast Lamai plains there exist a water-hole which is used by a clan of about 70 hyenas who have made the surroundings their home. On hot days some of these hyenas would be found lying down in the water-hole to cool off. It is also around this water-hole that they would ambush some animals coming to quench their thirst. Sometimes when a pride of lions that roams the area come to the water-hole and stay put for days, the hyenas give way.

Browsers of Serengeti.

The masai giraffes are a common feature on our game drives. Usually they see us long before we see them as their height enables them to do that.They are the tallest browsers (Feeding on leaves) of the serengeti bushlands. Their finger-like tongue enables them to grasp softer twigs off the trees and shrubs.On this particular day, they were the first animals we came across on our game drive.There are different races but the same type of Giraffe in east africa, but the serengeti one is known as the masai giraffe.
