    Shoebill Stork (Balanaeceps rex). These enormous and bizarre lookiing birds are highly prized by ornithologists. Their principal stronghold in the swamps of Southern Sudan are presently inaccessible due to security concerns, and so the swamps along the River Nile in Uganda are one of the safest & most reliable places to observe them at close quarters. by: philcrosby Views[1000] Leopard (Panthera pardus) walking away. Leopards are mostly active at night, but this female leopard was unusually active in daylight hours, due to the presence nearby of a dependent cub. The quizzical twist of her tail almost dared me to follow her into the bush - I declined the invitation! by: philcrosby Views[725] Farner working the soil in Northern Uganda - both women and men work in the fields, and the work is long and arduous, often using technology which has progressed little in hundreds of years by: philcrosby Views[245] African Lioness (Panthera leo) with cub. Lion cubs are very dependent on family for many months and although the lioness is very aware of antelope around her, any ability to hunt them is severely limited by the presence of a boisterous and undisciplined cub. The pride system allows lionesses to leave offspring with trusted family members whilst they hunt by: philcrosby Views[823] Three African Bull Elephants (Loxodonta africana). Watching these three progress across the grasslands beside the River Nile in Northern Uganda, it was easy to reflect on the timeless nature of the scene - other than that across the river here lies the DRC, where Elephants are regularly killed by rebels for ivory to finance their fighting. There are few large tusked Elephants remaining in this region. by: philcrosby Views[173]
