African Elephant

Namibia
17 Oct 1998
These two animals were in some sort of disagreement near a water hole. They fussed at one another for about 15 minutes with mock charges, etc. I never did figure out what they were upset about, but I guess it was none of my business and they were not saying.

2 shots. 2nd shot shows a lion near the carcass of a small elephant
The guess of the tour guide was "Gambian Epauletted Fruit Bat".
These bats were found in the mango trees of Namushasha Lodge in the Kaprivi Stripe. The photo is geotagged and as precise as a GPS receiver can be.

The bird in the image is very dull and not in good plumage. This is a stunning bird when you see one in breeding plumage.

Double-banded Courser
(Rhinoptilus africanus)
Etosha National Park,
Namibia
The first shot shows the bird on a nest. On the second shot, note how tiny a shadow the bird makes in the mid day sun. Their body structure is one of the ways this species copes with the desert-like conditions where it lives....it stands up tall to expose as little of its body as possible to the sun's rays.

Can someone confirm the species? I was alerted by an alarm-calling bulbul, who vigorously mobbed the snake. My estimate of its length was 2.25m; colour dull olive green above, whitish below. More dangerous than I realised at the time?
