Tanzania-Serengeti Day 2

The long awaited Hot Air balloon ride. Once we were up in the air, I told the story about the three Dutch tourist who died in China when there was a gas leak and set the balloon fire. They died in that disaster in 2009. I think the people around me wanted to kill me for saying that .

  • Hyrax- Procavia capensis; these little creatures are the nearest living relative to the elephants. If you stare a little longer, you can see some resemblance- I am kidding- I see no resemblance at all!
  • There are three types of Hyrax- bush , rock and tree. Since this little guy is sitting on a rock, he must be the rock Hyrax.
