GOOD FENCES - Warthog and Hadeda Ibis
This is where we spent our second night in Kruger National Park. That is Marie sitting on the patio. Passing by outside was a Warthog and a Hadeda Ibis.
WARTHOG! That is the epithet I gave my little one seconds after he was born <3 no crying right away, just snorting (enter "warthog"). The body shape of that warthog also reminds me of my chubby mini poodle haha Nice shots! Can't believe so close!
Wow Margaret, thank you for taking us to Kruger. I work with a few South Africans and I would love to see that country one day. Wart hogs are unfortunate looking animals I think!
Interesting company...great shots of the warthog in kneeling posture. I wonder what is it up to...finding food perhaps or just wanting to relax. These must be the regulars in the park..ya. Just like we have peacocks and macaques in our part of the world. :)
the warthog is pretty amazing! i like the round hut.

The warthog and the ibis look as if they are having a conversation...
ReplyDeleteAn unusual sight whilst having a sundowner Margaret. I'll bet that made you put your glass down and grab your camera.
ReplyDeletePhil My camera is usually rond my neck!!

ReplyDeleteThe roundhouse is wonderful but how amazing to have wildlife like that just on the doorstep!

What a curious looking creature that wart hog is. Is it kneeling?
ReplyDeletethey are pretty interesting looking critters, i don't know if i have ever seen one before!!! i like that type of fence!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful creatures!
ReplyDeleteHey, it's Pumbaa! (from the Lion King)
ReplyDeleteIntriguing shots and neat wall/fence ~ Love the hog and little bird being together peacefully ~
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend coming to you ~ ^_^
What a great place to stay! I'd be so nervous about that warthog! Great pictures of him!
ReplyDeleteI'd be a bit tentative around the warthog--- But he's probably a very nice fellow. Nice shots.

ReplyDeleteGood thing there was a nice sturdy wall/fence to keep out the warthog, strange looking fellow.
ReplyDeleteWow Margaret, thank you for taking us to Kruger.

That hog looks huge! We see wild hog tracks when we hike and sometimes even hogs, but it's not my favorite sighting! lol Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLovely place and pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat is one critter I want my distance. You captured him very well. I appreciate your visits very much.
ReplyDeleteYou would need a good fence to keep that warthog away! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love those warthogs Margaret, another fascinating animal. Great accommodations too. Great photos! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteJust like the Lion King. What fun.
ReplyDeleteI echo most comments Ms. Margaret, beautiful shots
ReplyDeleteThey are sort of strane companions...but then you think why not?
ReplyDeleteLove it.
