My daughter on the Okapuka game drive today: "Please wake me up if you spot a lion or a leopard or a cheetah." She promptly passed out in my lap, followed by her girlfriend who had slept at our house the night before. They left drool spots on my jeans and slept through a 4x4 trip through the bush. If that doesn't count as a mom-win, I don't know what does. On this afternoon excursion, I learned a few things such as, crocodiles embedded tongues, making it seem like they don't have one at all. They also eat exclusively underwater but come up for air to take another bite. The sound of springbok femur bone breaking in half is gross and very loud. Warthogs don't usually kill by using their tusks, but rather by biting their prey and shaking the hell out of it and playing tug-o-war with a goal to disembowel. Our guide told this to three young children who sat in the truck while he idly fed the demanding warthogs handfuls of food pellets.
