The Crowned Lapwings a pretty brave kind of bird, especially if they have a little baby and want to protect it. They screech loudly, run around in the grass and even attack elephants if needed. Here is a minute’s observation of this interesting bird you will frequently see in Madikwe Game Reserve.

Did you know that sometimes rhinos eat earth so that they get enough minerals? Rhulani’s head ranger Sean tells us more about this interesting eating habit, and he also tells us why rhinos are related to horses and zebras.

Sometimes the buffalo look very peaceful, like cows. But not if you meet big, old buffalo, the so-called “Dagga Boys”. You’d rather not have any problems with them, and we remember that this animal is one of the most dangerous mammals of the African bush.
