Kgalagadi animals large and small

Gemsbok, found in dunes and riverbeds,
they do not need to drink often as they get
all the moisture that they need from a variety
of food, including tsamma melons.
 During our stay in Kgalagadi we were blessed to see some beautiful animals. Some very large, some really small and cute, some very amusing, some trying very hard to catch prey
A Jackal that spent many hours trying to catch

exchange for a stone, when Doug did not
give the Squirrel any food, he took the stone
and buried it and came back with another one
