I'm wondering if people are reading the blog just to see what new animals we encountered.
My list is now complete. We saw the hyena this afternoon. We were hoping to see an entire family at the hyena den but there was no activity when we visited. We just saw this single ugly guy hanging around near the den area. It's not a very good picture - he is that blurry thing in the middle of the picture.
This is a kudu. Look at the big ears.
The other people on the drive had not yet seen any elephants. As you might remember, Angela and I saw many elephants in Botswana including the ones that charged us near her tent.
We came across this single bull walking along the Sand River. What a surprise - he charged at us!! These guys have some attitude.
Just when I thought I would be forever scared to death of elephants, we found this family of more than 20 walking in the river. These are females with babies. We were told that the mothers would be very protective of the babies but they were actually quite relaxed around us.
One of the babies was quite curious and wandered over close to the truck. The mother did not get alarmed at all and let him check us out.

One of the babies was really small; well, small for an elephant that is.
We have our last game drive tomorrow and then we start the more than 30 hour trip home.
