More Bandia Preserve Animals

 Traveling deeper into the Bandia forest, we saw some iconic animals of Africa.

Nathan has amazing abilities to spot the birds! This one is beautiful in flight and resting.

Flying in for lunch

Nice for the warthog to get rid of extra flies and pests

We didn't see these red monkey's anywhere but inside of the preserve

Despite being together for 20 years, no baby rhinos

Female of the pair. We were about three yards away in the truck.

The weaver birds have little nests, but this apartment dwelling where they live close together.

Ostrich male on the nest

A lot of the trees are coated red, so this one struck me as odd. The Guide explained that a fungus grows all over the tree and protects it from the sun while having a nice place to live.

This is the typical color of the fungus covered trees

These gentle looking giants really melt my heart

These red monkeys just went around minding their own business. It was hard to get a picture of the babies as the mama's ran up the tree so fast.

The other monkeys deserve their own post. They were hilarious and full of mischief. The crocodiles deserve their own post too. I wonder what they feed them?

The ostrich is a very interesting bird. "The dominant female will lay around 7-10 eggs in the center of the nest, and the other females place their eggs to the outside. The communal nest may have as many as 60 eggs in it! Both the male and female ostriches take turns incubating the eggs. Each egg is 15 cm (6 in.)" curtesy of https://animalfactguide.com/animal-facts/ostrich/
