Clutch size can range from 4 to 78 eggs per nest, but how many chicks have you ever seen with a couple, nan?

it seems, around 20, in February 2011, each time I saw the same couple, I counted the chicks to be sure all were still alive, because there was a lot of Cheetah around O**

I was informed that there is big cats a little bit further, thank you :-)

In the North of the 14th, two Cheetahs are lying side by side, belly ready to explode O-/

I get to KK

One was told me that nr 1 at KK was full of Bats and I asked Jacques to book me # 2 when I was at Urikaruus.
I received # 2 and this is Jacques welcomes me :-?
He had to replace a colleague and he can't go and join his family for Easter :-(

No problem (for me), we'll have time to see the photos of cricket and unknowingly, I photographed his wife, his daughter and her future little ... his wife is pregnant with a baby boy... for July
