THE END

(caracals from Schleich, serval from Safari ltd, leopard from Papo, CollectA and ??)

Great photos! Good to see that your new caracals have already started their adventures. Amazing climbing skills, how do they stay on the branches?

As you can see, the branches are almost horizontal! Thank you Roger!

A spectacular tree-dimensional history! It is nice to recall that caracals also climb.

Lovely photos and story! Can't wait to get these caracals

Dangerous zone

I am always so jealous of the weather in your photos! Is that an aardvark hunting gazelles?

you noticed they seem to fear him! :)

What a lovely photo
Amazingly the cloud on the right reminds me of the silhouette of Kilimanjaro, can you see it too?

Nice again

Great photo, really. The detail of the aardvark is so funny. I also enjoy how one of the gazelles look so different just because of the light.

Aardvarks hunt animals that move in a line, are exact copies of each other and have antennae. I'm refering to gazelles, of course.
