Excavation for a vast open cast copper #mine in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park has begun. The bulldozers’ move into #Zambia’s pristine wildlife sanctuary and famous tourist attraction follows a decade-long fight by activists trying to stop the #mining."

Two hippos on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe Africa. One in the foreground is displaying with wide open mouth, one in the background is spouting.

Just picked up Hennes at Kayube Estates, on the banks of the mighty #Zambezi near #Livingstone #Zambia. He was very well looked after, for a longer period of time, but now has to say Goodbye to his fellow #Overlander Trucks and #Landcruisers in the garage. From tomorrow on we‘ll be driving around in #africa, again.

Southern #Africa is one of the most important places in the world for understanding the #Permian, the period that ended with the largest #MassExtinction in #Earth's history. The valleys of the #Luangwa and #Zambezi in #Zambia 🇿🇲 are particularly rich in Permian fossils, including this #gorgonopsian on display at the #UniversityOfWashington's #BurkeMuseum. These impressive animals are #therapsids, close relatives of mammals and perhaps the first #sabertooths.

Many of the oldest #fossils from the countries of the #Zambezi Basin come from #Namibia 🇳🇦, so we're returning there this week to meet the #Carboniferous #fish Namaichthys schroederi. It was an early member of a group with a bright future: the #Actinopterygii, or ray-finned #fishes, which, since Namaichthys swam the #Namibian seas 300 million years, has #evolved into by far the most diverse group of #vertebrates.

This beauties botanic name is #Schotiabrachypetala, the #weepingboerbean.
It’s from the legume ‘family’.
It’s native to #Africa, south of the #Zambezi River, where it occurs at middle altitudes.
This gorgeous thing’s is an ornamental tree (no surprise!) grown in warmer regions and is known for its nectar that drips from its flowers, which attracts a range of birds and insects.
This grows proudly in #Melbourne’s #botanicgardens.
