Snapshots from the River: The Chobe Crocodile!

The mighty crocodile of the Chobe River.

A crocodile suns itself in Botswana's Chobe National Park.

I find crocodiles terrifying.  Can you blame me? I mean, look at those teeth!

A river safari always reminds me to have a healthy fear of rivers in Africa!

A water lily.

A herd of elephants drinking at the Chobe River.  Oh, Botswana, you always are so lovely.

Waterbuck!

The wonderful Chobe River.

The mighty crocodile of the Zambezi

A crocodile on the Zambezi River in Mana Pools National Park -- Zimbabwe.

There were many, many, many crocodiles in the Zambezi.

None to which I wanted to get any closer.

Warthogs may be some of the cutest animals ever.  I had no idea. 

Here a mama leads her two babies away--when they run, their tails go straight up in the air like antennas.

And their hair reminds me of some serious old-school side burns.

A waterbuck next to the Zambezi.  They're easy to pick out because of the bulls eye on their tushes.

A waterbuck and a zebra.

Baboons.  Kind of an unnerving shot with its human-like quality, eh?

A hippopotamus stares me down from his perch in the Zambezi.
