Rothschild's Giraffe, Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi. Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya, East Africa. Feeding on Acacia late afternoon. Living in very few areas of Africa these giraffes are endangered. The population is potentially close to meeting the population threshold for Critically Endangered under criterion C, depending on the number of individuals, if any, that survive in south Sudan. There are only about 700 in the wild. They have similar markings to the Reticulated Giraffe but are characterised by unpatterned legs, which looks like they are wearing knee-high white socks.

The Rothschild’s Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) is one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies with only a few hundred members in the wild. This one was seen and photographed at Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya, East Africa. The Rothschild’s subspecies is paler than other sub-species, the orange-brown patches are less jagged and sharp in shape and the connective channel is of a creamier hue compared to that seen on the Reticulated Giraffe. In addition, the Rothschild Giraffe displays no markings on the lower leg, giving the impression that it is wearing white stockings. They are also taller than other subspecies, measuring up to six metres tall (20 ft). Canon 500D, zoom lens. (Featured in Animals of Africa Best of the...

Impalas can be found in numbers of up to 2 million in Africa. Canon 500D, zoom lens. (Featured in AS Wilderness Somewhere, and Other Groups.)

Two young female lions explore a tree in Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya, East Africa. (Featured in Wild Cats and Their Environment.) Canon 500D, zoom lens. They weren't exactly happy up there as lions don't generally climb trees, and they had some difficulty getting down again. It was late afternoon with a storm coming in and we were glad to see they got down to safety before the rain came and made the trunks slippery. Lions generally don't climb trees due to their weight, but these adolescent girls broke the family rules (just like teenagers of all kinds). African Lion, Panthera leo krugeri. Lions are endangered, there being only about 20,000 across the whole of Africa, due to habitat destruction and hunting, often caused by thei...

Marabou Stork, Leptoptilos crumeniferus, known as the undertaker bird. The Marabou stork is 4 to 5 feet, 1.15 to 1.5 m high. The wing span is close to 9 feet, 3 m. The marabou storks head is nearly bald and scab encrusted. This makes it cleaner for the marabou stork to eat carrion without getting its feathers blood soaked. A pendulous flesh colored gular sac hangs below the throat when inflated and indicates sexual maturity. Photographed at Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya, East Africa.Canon 500D, Tamron zoom lens (Featured in The World as we See it, or as we Missed it, and other groups.)
