Like most cats, cheetahs don’t like to get wet unless they have to. No doubt, this mother’s harrowing experience did little to change her mind.

Being a single mother is challenging at the best of times. But more so, when you’re a female cheetah with four young cubs.

A group of tourists in the Kruger Park area got a big surprise when they spotted something white in the veld. Their delight is evident as they realise it is a Cape buffalo.

Cape buffalo are a member of the Big 5, renowned for their large herds and occasionally grumpy temperament. While on a game drive, Erin and her companions were happy to find a large herd.

However, as they watched, something unusual caught Erin’s eye. After taking a look with her binoculars, she realised they had stumbled across something very unusual.

A troop of particularly busy and nosy vervet monkeys left smiles on faces when they helped to groom a bushbuck in this incredible sighting.

Grooming among vervet monkeys is a vital social behaviour used to reinforce bonds, reduce stress, and maintain hygiene.

Usually, these monkeys keep their grooming behaviour between themselves; however, on rare occasions, they do extend this courtesy to other animals.
