Animals of the Kalahari

While on the recent trip to the resthouse the family saw several wonderful animals and got some pictures. Here they are:

Rhinos are very short tempered and short-sighted. This is a good thing because they did not see the bakki!	The giraffe stands lookout. Hopefully not for the Rhinos
A fine new paint job for the Zebra family.	"Hey guys, I know that bakki is here someplace."

Here we are in the bakki smiling at the Rhino who is taking the picture.
