動物星球˙非洲獵遊--兇猛動物區 Animal Planet‧African Safari--Carnivore Zone



            挑戰完非洲最高峰之後,行程也就開始進入倒吃甘蔗爽歪歪路線,一路坐車看動物囉!!既然要參加Safari,捕捉動物最真實的感動,最野性的時刻,當然就得拿出小弟的Nikon D80配上Sigma 18-200 mm的長槍,來進行狩獵!!

            說到Safari,.....就是坐在車裡看動物,如果在一兩天內就看到重要動物了,那說實在的,接下來的時間,會挺無聊的。還好本次Safari,我們跑了坦尚尼亞兩個國家公園和肯亞最著名的馬賽馬拉,分別看了不同的主題動物,也因為跑了三個國家公園,才把人稱Big Five-獅子、大象、犀牛、獵豹、水牛都收集完畢!! ( 不過我個人認為水牛感覺是硬來湊數的,既不帥又不威猛,唯一賣點大概就是電影牛魔王造型應該是模仿它的,不過如果少了它,Big Five就得叫做F4了)....    
          After climbing Mt. kili , the next stage of our trip is Safari , allowing us to take a full rest ! Since we want to get the most real , wildest moment of animals , my weapon " D80 with 18-200mm lens " is certainly well-prepared .
          When it comes to Safari , it is a trip that sitting in the cars all the way .So , if you are lucky enough to get some important animals in one or two days . To be honest , the rest of your trip would turn bored .....But , during our safari , we collected up the so-called Big Five  by visting two Tanzania national park and Masai Mara , the famous one in Kenya . Big-Five inclueds Lion , Elephant , Rhino, Leopard ,Buffalo ( In my personal opinion , Buffalo simply come to make up for the number "five " . It is not so powerful as others . Otherwise , Big-Five would become F4 if lack of Buffalo )     

  本次最期待看到的動物就是獅子王辛巴了!! 終於在馬賽馬拉讓我們近距離看到囉!!
萬獸之王在顧盼之間,就是威風八面!!
The animal we looked forward to most is Lion . We did get it within such close distance in Masai Mara .  The king of carnivore make its display of prowess !
在獅子的社會裡,通常都是由母獅去狩獵,然後由公獅先吃,再來是小獅,最後母獅再來吃廚餘...
唉....為甚麼人類社會卻是...... 下輩子,我也要當公獅子...
By Lion 's society 's standard , female usually go out for hunting . Then , male lion enjoy the quarry , followed by young lion . Female just can feed on the remains .
Sigh ! Why human society goes the opposite way  ?  I would like to be a male lion in my next-life .

母獅與年輕公獅!!   Female and Young Lion.




清晨與傍晚應該是最容易看到獅子的時候!!
清晨是狩獵吃喝的時候,看來獅子也知道早餐的重要性!!
傍晚則是獅子出來曬太陽!!
Dawn and dusk are the good time for seeing lions. 
Lion usually hunt at dawn . It seems to them that they know how important the breakfast is . 
At dusk , it is their time for sunbathing .

公獅一天的行程,就是吃、睡、和母獅睡....
基本上,和豬沒啥兩樣,但是一個卻譽為萬獸之王,一個卻用來罵人.... 只能說...人帥真好
Male lion's daily schedule is  Feeding , sleeping , sleeping with female lion .
Basically , almost the same as pig's schedule . But , one is the king of carnivore , the other is used as bad words . Ha~ As fate would have it !




其實他們睡著時,還挺安詳的...臉上都沾滿蒼蠅蚊子...
且獅子睡覺的樣子真的很囂張,把最脆弱的肚子往上翻!! 沒辦法,那邊就是他最厲害!!
Although they are fierce carnivore , they look kind and peaceful when sleeping with their weakest belly up .  Even so , I don't think anyone dare to provoke them.



接著登場的是非常難看到的Leopard,行蹤詭祕,又喜歡躲在樹上,但我們相當幸運,又有耐心在樹旁苦等半小時,等他老大睡完午覺,起身伸懶腰,再走下樹!!
總算是欣賞到他敏捷又剽悍的身形!!
The next one on stage is rare-seen Leopard , which move stealthily and prefer inhabiting on trees . Lucky me , we spent more than half hour waiting .At last , it finished its nap and make a good stretch ,coming down the tree .  Its great figure showed up in our face .





豹生性多疑謹慎,所以非常不容易見到,每次只要有豹的行蹤,旁邊肯定是圍著約莫20輛車在看它!!我們何其幸運!? 看完Leopard之後,又看到另一種豹類 Cheetah !!
Leopards/Cheetah  are cautious animals , so they are rarely seen . So, once leopards/Cheetah are spotted , there must be more than 20 cars surrounding . How lucky we are ! After we see leopards , Cheetah made its debut !!

我想....台中的金錢豹和他比起來不知如何?!


禿鷹!! 個人感覺是屬於小混混類型的動物,平常也很少打獵,就是等獅子等兇猛動物
抓到獵物後,再來分一杯羹!! 我們甚至還有看到獅子和禿鷹為了一隻死掉的牛羚相互對峙的情景!! 國家地理頻道及動物星球真實上演!! 
Vulture ! They are rascal-like animal . They don't hunt anything but feeding on the quarry lion killed . We even see a couple of vulture set off confrontation with a female lion over a dead wildbeast .  National Geography and Animal Planet are airing !




禿鷹也不是個合群的動物,常常為了食物,而和同類開打!!
下圖中,張開翅膀者就是要攻擊同伴!!
Vultures are selfish animals . They even fight each other for food .




在馬賽馬拉Safari時,遇到一場大雨,大雨過後,太陽出來,就看到所有的禿鷹全都
背向太陽,展開翅膀,據說是為了要把翅膀曬乾!!
We got caught in the rain when safari .  After the heavy rain , all vulture unfold their wings and turn back against the sun to dry their wings .



在馬拉河畔,是鱷魚的棲息地,每天就是等著牛羚遷徙度過馬拉河時,伺機偷襲!!
Crocodile 's habitat is located along the Mara River. They await wildbeast's crossing and make a stealth attack !!
不過,我想最兇猛的動物,還是人類........

However , the most fierce carnivore is ..........human being !!
