Facebook Pic of the Week: 14 to 20 July 2014

We didn't choose a specific theme for this particular week's sharing from our Facebook Page. A variety of landscape, bird and wildlife images made their way into the newsfeed of our followers, thanks to our amazing contributors.

Trevor Kleyn shared this unique photo of a Spotted Hyaena  lying amidst a bed of wildflowers, being closely watched by a journey of Giraffes. This scene played out in Mashatu, Botswana. You can see more of his work on his website: www.trevorkleyn.com

Facebook Pic of the Week: 23 to 29 June 2014

Our theme last week on the AFRICANature Facebook Page was #CaptionCraze: we were looking for photos that are "caption-worthy", and the community was invited to post their captions in the comments.

Often, we tend to focus on the amazing and glorious species like lions, elephants, etc...yet there are so many more species to enjoy, so many moments to observe in the bush. One such moment is our pic of the week by Nobby Clarke. A red-billed oxpecker showing some TLC to an impala. You can follow Nobby on his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Photography.by.Nobby

Facebook Pic of the Week: 2 to 8 June 2014

It was another week of "anything goes", an open theme as it were, where any photo of Africa's fauna and flora and vistas was welcome.

There was one photo that clearly stood out - and it is highly probable that you will NOT see another photo showing this exact group of animals in these poses ever again. The photographer is Timothy Smith from Australia, and he captured this moment while working as a field guide in Africa. You can follow his Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/PhotographyTrs

The photo itself is posted below and shows two endangered White Rhinoceros in the act of mating, with two critically endangered African Wild Dogs looking on with seemingly bemused expressions...talk about a uniquely African moment!
