Elegant and Ugly, Predator and Prey

The variety and number of animals we’ve seen here boggles the mind.  It’s a lot to take in!  They travel and live in groups of their own:  a pride of lions; a parade of elephants; a tower of giraffes; a troop of baboons; a confusion of guinea fowl; an improbability of wildebeest, a dazzle of zebras  .  .  .

With their bold colors and patterns, the giraffe, zebra, impala and leopard look to be designed by a most creative graphic artist.  Antelope horns appear the work of a talented sculptor. And the warthog and wildebeest look like a mistake.

But elegant and ugly, predator and prey, they all have their place and a job to do.
