A Surfer: AKA "Ronnie-One-Legged Wonder!"

Here is a really good example of just "dealing with what you are dealt in life". A surfer that I met and traveled with in the Philippines has only one leg and is one of the best surfers I've ever had the pleasure of surfing with . His attitude, determination and tenacity as a person/surfer is unmatched in all my travels around the world. The guy and his mother opened up their house to me for about 10 days, this house happened to be located on one of the main breaks in La Union, Philippines, called "Mona Lisa". We had the best of times. They even named their puppy "PIT". To see and learn more, go to these two links: PhotoGalleryPhilippines or RonnieWith. Whats your excuse for not surfing?

The Hyena AKA "The Scavengers"

Spotted hyenas are notorious scavengers and often dine on leftovers from other predators. But these hardy beasts can be skilled hunters, capable of taking down wildebeest or antelope. These intelligent and bold animals will raid any food stores or crop and are blamed for many livestock and even some human deaths. They like to circle their prey and have mob mentality to hunt as a pack to get what they are after. They seem to never wear out or shy off when they are onto something. For more to see, click: TheHarassers . It seems they can run but not hide.....

Mr. Baboon AKA "The Talker & Taker"

Did you know that Baboons use over 30 vocalizations ranging from grunts to barks to screams? Nonvocal gestures can include yawns, lip smacking and shoulder shrugging. "Sounds like a talker and not a doer"? They seem to have a tight grasp on what family means and are always near the watering hole to get some free water. Sometimes not so free, according to the Cheetahs and Leopards who like to prey on these types. A baboon's biggest predator however is man. Male baboons can have canine teeth as long as 2 inches (longer than a lion's canine teeth). For more viewing and understanding Click: CarThieves . It seems they are takers also. Don't you love those who take what's not theirs? These guys must have invented the tax system. It's the easiest, laziest way to get what they "want". They seem to have a big mouth as well. I wonder if their breath stinks? Now that's all I gotzz to say about that....Forest says.

The African Tiger Fish AKA "African Piranha"

It seemed only appropriate to blog about the African Piranha in the middle of the Nasty Five of Africa because it's usually found in the middle of the watering hole so to speak. I'm sure if it could speak then the words it would most say would be: "I plan on eating your breakfast, lunch & dinner while always wondering why it just tasted like a snack". If it could put a warning sign up at every watering hole it's found, I'm sure it would say: "You won't see me, you want hear me, but you will feel my pain... Some other interesting things about the African Piran"ha": taking care of these fish is very easy. They tend to eat anything that fits into their jaws, but can become uninterested in their food if hunting for it becomes too easy. They tend to like fish that can swim very quickly and will make catching them a challenge. Good thing these guys and the lions don't team up....Or do they? It is a jungle out there and I guess we'll never know. To see a video of this fish: ClickPiranha
