A riddle to start the new week 🧐

How do you call a group of giraffes standing or browsing? Have a guess…

Groups of animals and their fantastic names… It is called „a tower of giraffe“. And by the way: when they walk or run, it is a journey! 😀🦒

Constellation in the Southern Hemisphere ✨

One of the most distinguish constellations in the Southern hemisphere is the Southern Cross. It is visible all year round, like the Plough in the Northern hemisphere. The Southern Cross is made up of four stars forming a cross and the two Pointers.

Have a look in my Nature Guide Learner Manual to see how this constellation helps you to define True South. 🤩

“Nothing but breathing the air of Africa, and actually walking through it, can communicate the indescribable sensations.” – William Burchell

Wishing you a very happy holiday 🧡 – just breathe and relax, even when you’re not in Africa.

Wildlife Wednesday 🐾

Each zebra has a unique stripe pattern like a bar code or a fingerprint. When zebras are born, the mother will screen her foal – usually a single foal - from the herd in order to imprint her own stripe pattern on the youngster, ensuring recognition. By the way, the foal can stand on its own feet just 10 minutes after being born and it can walk within 30 minutes.

Monday Mood 🙈🙉🙊

The pause of a moment: this Hadeda Ibis takes a little break from his flight, observing its surrounding. Once you have heard the loud voice of an ibis, you know you are in Africa – better than every alarm clock 😉
