At any rate, it does give me a bit of time to sort through the looming pile of photos that I never had time to edit in the summer. Today, it's a few miscellaneous South Africa photos from the giant stack. Here they are!
First, a really exciting shot for me. I had always wanted to see a monitor in the wild, and we were fortunate enough to find a handful! The Nile Monitor does not disappoint - big, powerful and gorgeous. Everything I expect a monitor to be!
Nile Monitor (Veranus niloticus)
Secondly, the most hideous creature in all of Africa - the Tsessebe! Evolution has kindly shaped this animal into something too ugly to eat, or at least that is the only explanation I can imagine for it. Don't be fooled, it's not sick or emaciated, it's just a Tsessebe.

And lastly, an insect (what's a blog post without bugs?). Since many of the parks in South Africa require you to stay in your car (and with good reason), I didn't get the opportunity to shoot many insects. I can only imagine that the country is full of fascinating, six-legged critters, and I wish I had the opportunity to see more of them!
Locusts (unknown species)
That's all for now!
