Super Safari Adventure

This weekend I went on safari at the Inverdoorn game reserve out in the South African Karoo. What an unreal experience. You'll never want to go to a zoo again after going out on a safari.

This Rhino came up to within about 4 feet of the vehicle that I was on, with its tusk pointed right at me. Luckily, White Rhinos (such as this one) are very docile and since they have no natural enemies, they aren't afraid of Range Rovers. Otherwise, I might have been speared by a Rhino. Good times!

Another interesting Rhino fact: they can't see any more than 4 meters in front of themselves. That means if they start running, and they can certainly get moving, you don't want to be in their path. They'll literally run through everything in existence, including trees, bushes, other animals, whatever. And since they weigh up to two and half tons, next to nothing will stop them.

And then there's this guy up here. Lions are little less docile than Rhinos, especially when they're really hungry. This lion is hungry, in case you couldn't tell. Note to everyone, stay away from lions.

And just for the hell of it, here are some giraffes.
