    What does it eat? The terrain looks arid!

    1. Wandering Ambivert September 27, 2021

      They mainly eat leaves and buds on trees. Luckily it’s quite a big terrain to explore. Roughly 20 000 hectares.

    So mooi! Dis my gunsteling wilde dier

    1. Wandering Ambivert September 19, 2021

      Hulle is ongelooflike diere en baie interessant. Veral wanneer hulle hardloop. Dit lyk asof hulle in “slow motion” hardloop en dit kan heel koemieklik wees.

      1. Aletta – nowathome September 20, 2021

        Ja, beslis πŸ˜€

    Serendipitous! Just was reminded, yesterday, of a line from a Robert Fulghum book, and sharing it with you:

    β€œDoes the giraffe know what he’s for? Or care? Or even think about his place in things? A giraffe has a black tongue twenty-seven inches long and no vocal cords. A giraffe has nothing to say. He just goes on giraffing.”

    Excellent picture and well – – today? my tongue not black, but not talking – apparently, my fingers are doing the work for my vocal chords….LOL

    1. Wandering Ambivert September 19, 2021

      What a fantastic quote! I might use it someday if you don’t mind πŸ™‚ I’m glad you like the photo!

      1. TamrahJo September 19, 2021

        Use it any time you wish, it’s in the greater world-wide-collective – but it’s not mine, I simply shared! It’s by author Robert Fulghum – author of many books – I believe this quote is from “All I needed to know I learned in Kindergarten” – but I’d have to pull out my copies and verify against online quote source attribution – – but, given your blog, your way of looking at/experiencing/sharing your world? I do believe you might enjoy Robert’s works – – he is an explorer too, on many fronts – πŸ˜€

      2. Wandering Ambivert September 27, 2021

        Thank you! I’ll put him on my TBR! Thank you for introducing him to me! πŸ™‚

      3. TamrahJo September 27, 2021

        His books were the collections of ‘read when ya can, take your time, short chapters’ on many fronts, ever before Chicken Soup for the Soul stuff really got popular – at least, that’s my ‘memory/experience’ – LOL

      4. Wandering Ambivert October 21, 2021

        Haha! What a great approach to writing books.

      5. TamrahJo September 19, 2021

        Also by Robert Fulghum – “The Storyteller’s Creed” –

        “β€œStoryteller’s Creed:
        I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
        That myth is more potent than history.
        That dreams are more powerful than facts.
        That hope always triumphs over experience.
        That laughter is the only cure for grief.
        And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

        Wow! It’s so incredibly beautiful! Thank you for sharing this as well. I might borrow this too. It’s absolutely poetic.
