Larger animals of Kruger

On to some of the larger animals of Kruger....



Female Kudu.

Male Kudu- their horns are so cool!



Reedbuck- another rare sighting in Kruger.


Impala. They are ALL OVER Kruger. Our guide called them JAFIs (Just Another F*ing Impala). LOL.



Waterbuck.



Zebras.




Buffalo. I kept wanting to call them "water buffalo" for some odd reason. I really liked their ears.



Blue wildebeest. CP did not mess with the color of this photograph at all.





Baby hippos with birds on their back.





Hippos fighting in the water. Hippos are actually the number one killer of people in the park every year. People don't realize that they are fast (at least in covering short distances).... and then it's too late. They also have ridonkulously powerful jaws.





Giraffe just hanging out. Giraffes have horrible eyesight so they actually walk towards you to figure out whether they should be scared of you or not.



Giraffes are hilarious. Gotta love the black tongue!

Wow! These photos are absolutely amazing, and I love how you wrote down every name beside the photos so we could know what they were.

Your honeymoon sounds like it was an amazing adventure!
