This time I saw rhinos and hippos and even an ostrich mating ("It looks like he's on a see-saw!" as one of my friends put it). Life is GOOD! I have had a great week. I saw two terrible movies this weekend, Hollywood Homicide and American Wedding, but there was nothing better to do (how depressing!). At least the movies are cheap here. I'm legally in the country.. but only for another week (until the 22nd of October) and I'm supposed to go to Zambia to see Victoria Falls on the 23rd. But I've bugged the people I'm working with and hopefully I'll be allowed to reenter the country after crossing the border. Anyway... Here are more Mokolodi pictures (Duma and Letoatsi).

Duma getting his cheek scratched - again!
LOUD purring... I managed to get it on tape really well this time. I think he liked me - every time I came to pet him he rolled over and to get closer to me. :) YAY! |
Head shot...
His tongue sticking out... These guys really are the sweetest things on the face of the earth. Really well behaved, friendly housecats. |
Cheetahs and my group
Letoatsi is the one closer to me - he's a bit bigger and lighter in color than his brother (Duma means Cheetah in Zulu, I think, Letoatsi means Cheetah in Setswana, I am sure). The two girls are Chris - a medical resident from DC who is here now, and Katie, a public health student from Oregon State. |
