A perfect example of symbiosis: a water buffalo and the oxpecker that removes ticks from its face and body stop to take a drink at the same time.

Vertical photograph; give it a click to take in the full scene and see the buffalo's heavy horns.

The photographer is Clint Ralph of South Africa.

Monkey with baby outside our complex. I still find them absolutely magical, and when they run along the telephone wires with the babies hanging on for dear life I tend to hold my breath!

I am so fortunate to have helped with this vulture conservation program this year. There is a lot of work to be done and I was able to assist with the 2022 egg harvests. South Africa is seeing a drastic decline of their Bearded vulture population making them now critically endangered. #vultures #beardedvulture #southafrica #southafricanwildlife #bred4thewild #beardedvulturerecoveryprogram
