	Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is known for its elephant herds that include many babies.
Lake Manyara National Park		We watched as the Vervet Monkeys had a dispute over something.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area		The fog creeps over the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.  By mid-morning, it is retreating over the Crater wall until it disappears before noon.
		Flocks of flamingo are often seen in the Crater's lakes.
	Zebra and wildebeest drink nervously.
This pride of lions has 4 adult males.  As we left the Crater, two of them roared a challenge to their neighbors.
Serengeti National Park		En route to the Serengeti, we saw a warthog grazing.  We also came across a leopard in a tree.
		We stopped one morning to view the cave paintings at the Masai Kopje.  En route from the kopje, we came across a secretary bird.
	In another area of trees, we saw a mother and infant vervet monkey
	The oils on the hide of the Topi make it appear to be highly colored.  Topi are often called "antelope in blue jeans".
Elephants bravely defend their young.   After encircling the babies, the dominant female comes to the front to lead the charge.
The dikdik, at about 18 inches tall,  is the world's smallest antelope while the eland is the largest.  An eland can be 6 feet tall at the shoulder.
A hyena stole a kill from a cheetah.   Several other hyenas followed quickly to the kill, each carrying off part of the prize.
