First Pictures



Below will be a series of a few photos, they are in no particular order, as its whatever i have happened to do first. I have basically started from the beginning and am working through.


Here is a photo (not good photo) of one of the first gorillas of the habituated group i saw. this is a juvenile male named Essekerende. He is about 6 years old and the child of an adult female called Malui. he was just eating termites, locally called 'Kusu'. they snap parts of the termites nest on the side of the tree, and tap against their hand. The juicy worker termites fall out and then are eaten. Its really cool to see the whole process.


This photo is nothing special just one of the few flowers around, as it was full dry season whilst i was there and hence little growing


This sweet little fellow was to be regularly found on the door to my room, and is incredibly quick moving. He is probably only a thumbs length so maybe 10cm but the speed is most disconcerting.



The following photos are of camp (Bai Hokou) The picture aboveshows the 'kitchen' and fire in the centre where all the cooking gets done.

this is the main entrance up in the centre and to the right of the previous photo.







I wont insult your intelligence!
I will post more soon. just have been preoccupied with getting job /car etc.
