LIFE AND DEATH IN AFRICA

Did you know that male lions in the wild consume 30 to 40 kilos of meat in one sitting, and that giraffes prefer to drink from rainwater puddles than from rivers? These are just some of the fascinating facts that you will find in the cyber diaries of the Mala Mala Game Lodge in South Africa. There are also exciting snippets of information, including the fact that a herd of 100 elephants plus numerous leopards and rhinos were sighted recently. The diaries are updated each week and are illustrated with great photographs, such as the magnificent close-up of a charging elephant. In order to get to the Mala Mala diaries, you need to go through the Wildnet Africa website. This is no great hardship, as there are some really interesting sites linked to this page. Visit the other sites on this page, but make sure you don't miss the diaries, which are located within the "Tales from Africa" section, at http://wildnetafrica.co.za/wildlife/wildlife.html .
