Went to the Ngorogoro Crater and to Ndutu to see animals for the New Years. The Crater had tooooooo many people but that is because you can see so much. Here are some highlights.
Birch finally saw the one animal he has wanted to see since our arrival- a serval cat. He saw a BBC show with a serval catching a bird mid air and has been obsessed since. Such amazement on his face. Our too since it was the middle of the day and we were leaving the crater.
Coles favorite the bat eared fox and David loves Hyenas more than lions.
Speaking of lions. A male chooses a mate to have for five days and mates her every 15 mintues for 5 days. He takes no food just water. Birch informed us that is 96 times a day. When I pressed him to explain mating he said there definitely has to be a growl at the end. We talked a little more in technical language appropriate terms and he said “how does that happen” and “ I don’t know much about that”. Which is crazy cause Birch knows something about everything with lots of confidence. (just like his dad)
Random picture of love- birds
Cool migration. 30 pass in 10 seconds and kept on coming for 10-20 minutes.
Saw a million cheetahs- which is great because kids had just watched a movie called “Duma” about a cheetah.
Of course we had a sundowner. Kids playing in the park with above cheetahs probably near by…. who knows.
