Curious Monkey

Driving around Pilanesberg National Park (South Africa), I got particularly close to this little guy and his family feeding in the bushes next to the road. His youth and innocence made him far more curious  as to what this big hunk of metal was with faces sticking out than his family members. He stared long and hard at us with a face of wonder and bewilderment until he eventually ran off.

This was a lovely moment in the Kruger National Park. For those of you who might not know, this is a Klipspringer, translated; Rock Jumper. It is a small antelope about the size of a medium build dog. Naturally that makes it the perfect target for some predators midday snack. This particular guy was fully aware of this, and made sure that he had the best spot to keep watch for potential danger. I love this shot because it give great perspective of this little guys life in a big world.

Over the weekend I spent a day in the Pilanesberg National Park. I was incredibly spoilt to see a pride of lion with six cubs eating a wildebeest. I sat watching this wonderful scene for about two hours. At one stage this little cub started to play with his mother, rolling on the floor and pouncing upon her.
