In the Saturday morning, I made a tour around the Africa. The Wild Africa Live! 24/7 Safari Cam provides real-time live stream from 30+ wildlife cameras across Africa. In a way it reminded me about my mammalwatching trips by car around my hometown here in Finland, where you either see a lot's of common mammal species - or just birds.
During morning, I saw five new species:
- Common Eland (Taurotragus oryx) 9:46 four at Chyulu Hills, Kenya
- Marsh Mongoose (Atilax paludinosus) aka Water Mongoose 10:12 three at Tembe, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. No photo, unfortunately.
- White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) aka White Rhino aka Square-lipped Rhinoceros 10:18 at Mantis, Eastern Cape, South Africa
- Common Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) 10:28 three at Hwange, Zimbabwe.
- Gemsbok (Oryx gazella), aka South African Oryx, 12:14 at Gondwana, Namibia.

3. White Rhinoceros
4. Warthogs
So, 33 / 100 species at the moment 😊
Only now I realised that there are two species of Rhinoceros in Africa, and propably I have seen already both of them. Have to keep my eyes open now. Same with Giraffes and Zebras.
