Diverse Citizens of Kenya


The tallest of them all.


"Big Brother" is watching you !
A true relationship in height.

 The Serval Cat


This long legged, beautifully spotted, shy cat 
hunts most often during the night hours, 
is  rarely seen during the day and I consider myself
very fortunate to have bagged this picture.

                     The Lapped faced Vulture...

...ranks as the longest and largest vulture.
It attains a body length of up to 115 cm 
and a wing span of an astonishing almost 3 meters.
This one seems to survey the countryside in the hope 
of seeing or smelling some carrion.

***********
The Hippopotamus 


gladly tolerates the cleaning crew, 
sent by the "Oxpeckers Corporation".



One would think that this Hippo was yawning.
One would be wrong, however.
This Hippo, in fact, is warning you not to come any closer.
