More highlights from Yala National Park
If you haven’t seen our first post about our leopard sighting already, go check it out.
A langur monkey with baby
An Asian green bee-eater out for a stroll
These painted storks give off some flamingo vibes
“Which way did he go George, which way did he go?”
I could have posted an entire album of these two looking in various directions, both of their heads swiveling back and forth surveying the landscape. It was quite comical.
Asian elephants are different than African ones; here you can easily see how much smaller their ears are.
Man, I just really wanted to give this guy some lotion. Look at all those wrinkles!
When you just wait for lunch to magically arrive in your mouth
We haven’t seen nearly as many reptiles as I had expected on this trip, but we ran across a whole bunch of monitors here
These are spotted deer, and they seem like a perfect snack for a leopard, as we nearly witnessed.
Licking its chops, perhaps starting to get a bit hungry
Getting a bit more interested…
But it seemed like the leopard wasn’t willing to work too hard for dinner, at least this early in the evening.
This little guy seems like a crotchety old character
One thing I don’t get about peacocks is how colorful they are…but only from the waist up. It’s like they went over budget during development and had to skimp on the lower half.
How close does the wildlife get on a safari? Well, sometimes they have to walk around the vehicles.
Awww shit, that’s the end of the safari photos! (sorry, but we’ve had to see this far too often the last several weeks, so now you get to see it once, too 😝).
