And what are those tracks- leopard? <br /><br />I know I live here but I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to animals- scared to death of an elephant, almost the scariest animal on earth if you ask me. I've passed elephants on the raod like that and nearly had a coronary. Went to a funeral once in Kasane and stood with a big stick in my hand as residents said elephants commonly pass through the graveyard. Not sure what my plan was with the stick though.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968469327864068813.post-31209684175229529062009-07-11T15:34:26.137+02:002009-07-11T15:34:26.137+02:00Absolutely amazing!..as I look out on my suburban ...Absolutely amazing!..as I look out on my suburban street with the odd sparrow!
