  • Mombo - Okavango Delta - Botswana <br />
<br />
This cheetah mother and cubs were photographed on a kill at Mombo in the Okavango Delta. The mother had taken a wildebeeste calf and was teaching her cubs how to penetrate the animals hide and eat it. After eating, they cleaned each other which made this nice scene.

  • Leopard (Panthera pardus)  -  Mombo - Okavango Delta - Botswana <br />
<br />
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a member of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four "big cats" (lion, leopard, tiger and jaguar) that belong to the genus Panthera. Leopards were distributed at one time across southern Asia and Africa. The leopard's range has decreased radically over time due primarily to hunting and loss of habitat. Leopard are now primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa. Leopards resemble the jaguar, but they are usually smaller and of a slighter build. Their fur is marked with rosettes which lack internal spots, unlike those of the jaguar. Their success in the wild is largely due to their opportunistic hunting behavior, and their ability to adapt to a variety of habitats. Leopards are extremely elusive and their preferred habitat ranges from rainforest to savannahs to desert terrains.

  • Lion (Panthera leo)  <br />
<br />
Mombo - Okavango Delta – Botswana <br />
<br />
The lion is the tallest (at the shoulder) of the felids, and is also the second-heaviest of the big cats after the tiger. With powerful legs, a strong jaw, and long canine teeth, the lion can bring down and kill large prey. The coloration of lions can vary from light buff to yellowish, reddish or dark brown. Lion cubs are born with brown rosettes (spots) on their body, similar to a leopard, but will fade as they reach adulthood. Lions are the only members of the cat family to display obvious sexual dimorphism—specifically, males and females look distinctly different. The lioness, lacks the thick mane, which is prominent in the males. The color of the male's mane can vary from blond to black, generally becoming darker as the lion grows older.

<br />
In this rare behavioural photo, a pack of Wild Dogs are harassing a Spotted Hyaena (Crocuta crocuta). This photo is an excellent example of how the dogs work together. You can see how the larger hyaena is completely overwhelmed by the pack.

  • African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus)  -  Mombo - Okavango Delta - Botswana <br />
<br />
African Wild Dogs (Lycaon pictus) - The African wild dog has a pelage with an irregular pattern of black, yellow, and white, distinctive for each individual. The scientific name Lycaon pictus is derived from the Greek for "painted wolf". African wild dogs are found only in Africa, typically in scrub savanna and other lightly wooded areas. These magnificent animals were once widely distributed throughout much of Africa. They have been hunted, poisoned and trapped to the point where there are only remnant populations left. They are an endangered species, and an important part of the ecosystems in the areas in which they live. They are the most successful predator on the African continent due to their highly effective pack hunting strategies.
