Wild Life of Cape Town

in #life6 years ago

Just an hour drive outside of my home city, Cape Town, and you can find yourself surrounded by the stark, savannah-like beauty that is the West Coast of South Africa. Just make sure the cooler box is well stocked.

(okay so my photos are a little shitty, I may have been using 🍄.)

In case you didn't know, certain types of Rhino are either on the endangered or the threatened list of species. 😕 The horns on these creatures have been cut off in order to deter poachers, as poachers kill then remove the horn.

They have poor eyesight so I'm not sure whether he thinks our truck is a really big, loud Rhino or what, but he charged at us and it was amazing!

Afternoon ladies and gentlemen. First order of business: No more heads in the sand.

Some of the more dangerous wildlife was just allowed to roam free and can be clearly seen to be competing for territory, by marking over each others' spoor.

Homo Sapien - very rare sighting. Note the colourful, almost gaudy skin markings, which warn other predators not to eat them, as they don't taste very nice

Here you'll find a modern twist on the classic "selfie", a new photographic invention, which I've titled - "Girelfie"

I honestly couldn't believe how much like kitties these big lions were. They were so big, and clearly powerful, but they just looked like they wanted to play and I was reminded of my cat at home, except my cat wouldn't be able to take my head off with one swipe, although I think she wouldn't be opposed to it.

Kitty!!!

This next one may have been the most terrifying Boomerang I've ever taken. I'm not sure whether that's a testament to how boring I am or not, but I challenge you to overcome the body's instinctive need to run when a lion is leaping at you. Yes there's a fence, but brain says: "Is there really?" 😅

There's something you need to know, and I'm going to tell you. Y'all think you can make money in crypto? Try Buffalo. Yes, that's right, I said Buffalo. The most a 5th generation TB-free (because that's a thing) Buffalo has sold for (to my knowledge) is a stunning R170m. That's a whopping $13m. My buddy Teboho, who is from Zimbabwe threatened to take me to Zim so we could go find a Buffalo and bring it here and sell it. I'm still waiting for the call though.

Look at this guy. He knows he is worth mega-cash.

"I'm worth millions. What are you worth? Yea, nothing."

You are hilarious. I’m not sure if the Girelfie or the Lion with Simon was funnier.

I’ll help you with the gifs next time xx
