This elephant challenged our touring vehicle. The guide went in reverse and backed away quickly until this elephant stopped advancing directly toward us.

Several of the other tourists were really spooked. I am not a brave person, and perhaps through not seeing any real danger, my primary reaction was fascination and "cool, an elephant doing something I've not seen before."

LOL! That's one way of looking at it!

Some Ostriches in a similar aggressive mode- Rhino and Lion Park

A male ostrich being peaceful. He had a pair of females with him, maybe he wanted to look cool.

Thirsty animals

Here's a bunch coming for a drink as well. Must sign out = time for our AM walk.

Impala rules!

I spy one more impala image in the RTP folder.

Kudu

This lady, with a youngster following (I'll post an image of it eventually) was not happy having humans nearby and also initiated a hasty back-up of our tour vehicle.

I usually give Elephants a wide berth, especially those with young ones, like this mother and baby. It was quite unsettled and screaming. Thankfully for me, they were a way off into the grasslands.
