The last day for Uganda – and I want to show you an animal (or two?). But which to choose out of all the wonderful animals you can see in Uganda? Whilst the larger mammals were widely spread throughout Africa in the past, they are now only to be found in the National Parks.
I will now go to my photos on the computer – I still don’t know what I will choose!
-
- This scary Hippo was actually photographed by my friend Robert Okiror with whom I share so many wildlife experiences. With about 120,000 left, they are the most dangerous African mammal, killing about 3,000 people every year.
-
- No one knows how this lion in MFNP lost one of its back legs, but he was faithfully looked after by two females who hunted for him for many years. He has now died. There are only about 20,000 lions left in Africa.
-
- Rothschild’s Giraffes in MFNP, Uganda
-
- Southern White Rhinos became extinct in Uganda in about 1983 but six were reintroduced in 2005 to Ziwa Reserve. They are highly protected and now number 22. Throughout Africa, there are about 20,000 left.
