The Plains of Africa

sandie on Nov 9, 2009

Africa is home to the animals were humans will try and take over.

The animal’s daily lives running wild on the plains

About all of the animals from monkeys, lions, wilder beast down to the gazelle

Where it is dry most of the year waiting for the monsoon rains.

Each has its own story to tell.

The monsoons come each year

Filling up the dry beds and the parched lands

You can feel the coolness getting near

As we need it badly on this land of dust and sand.

The rains will bring fresh life

Animals rush here so vast

There will be all types

All coming here to eat the rich lush grass.

In this dessert country

It’s a game of life and death

For some it’s a bounty

With evidence of bones lying around of what is left.

This is such a beautiful place, too bad there is so much poverty.

I love watching the nature channels…Imagine if you would, a Cheeta, closing in on Wilderbeest at his top speed of 70mph. And just as the cheeta is about to swipe the hind legs out from under the fleeing wilderbeest and take him down, the wilderbeest makes a sharp right turn to elude the cheeta. Of course, the cheeta put on his brakes and slides another 200 yards trying to stop, while at the same time panting out of breath..Meanwhile, the wilderbeest finds his way back to the pack, thankful that he escaped to live another moment. Cause in the back of his mind, he knows that in a few miles; he\\\’ll be crossing into the king of the jungle territory. Good read.

Hi there!
