Interestingly, one can identify the animals quite easily from their facial markings, which are always unique...sort of like the cheetah spots, nana!

Mg and I started a thread about that elsewhere along time ago..maybe we should resume here? -O-

The big bulls seem to last for about a decade max in Kruger...an unique opportunity to follow them and their families...a-la wild dog pic studies etc.? -O-
