Banded mongoose breaking snail shell using a rock.
zhlédnutí 23Před 2 měsíci
Amazing to watch this Banded mongoose throwing an African land snail between its legs and into a rock to crack the shell and expose the edible parts. Rocks are few and far between in St Lucia so the group carried the snails a far distance to the rock to commence the cracking. Seems like a well known spot for them.

zhlédnutí 140Před 7 měsíci
Listening for the alarm calls of Vervet monkeys is an excellent way to spot Leopard or African Crowned eagle in the Isimangaliso Wetlands Park. If the monkeys are looking downwards it signals leopard, up to the sky or high in the canopy signals African crowned eagle.
