Buch 145 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hiya im abit bored and was lookng through some pictures of Kenya i took. Im a squaddie so ive been there with work and i thought id show you some pictures for any one that might be interested. Some of the photos are abit bad quality because they were taken from a moving lorry and my shit camera wouldnt focus. Ive seen loads of differant wildlife but i was gutted as i didnt see any of the big predators ... This is my best picture of an elephant and its rubbish to say the least. 5 Points if you can spot it. My mate took a cracking little video of an elephant charging them but i wasnt there unfortunatly . Monkeys in a tree. There all over the place. One of my favoritest photos. Seen quite alot of giraffes everywere. This picture didnt come out great but more or less right in the middle of the pic there are 2 little tiny deer at the bottom of the bush. There about the size of a big hare and theres millions of them allover. Antilope and Warthog. The locals were pretty wary of warthog because they dont take shit from any one and are fairly viscous. More Antilope My mate found this in his boot ... he was glad he checked before he put it on. Its called an armoured cricket A pic of Mt Kenya sendond hightest mountain in Africa. Its the only place on the equator were you can find snow. I got to within about 300m of the summit but we couldnt go any further because the weather was to bad. A baboon just cutting around. These things were actualy pretty scary. A huge male tried to rip one of the blokes off a quad because he got too close. They have rediclous teeth. Proper nasty f*ckers. Yours truely feeding a monkey a biccy. Maybe its because im a savage geek but i found this realy interesting. These are meant to be vacume packed but because we were so high goin up the montain the air had expanded inside like a ballon. These things are like a big gineapig and were incrdably stupid. that picture is take with me having managed to "stalk" up to it so i could nearly touch it. Last one. OK OK It was a crap tasch competition and yes i won. That bad boy took me 4 weeks to grow. I stook the camealeon in my big ginger locks and it turned ginger but i got it taken off me before i could get a picture becasue it was "cruel". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buch 145 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yer was good. Hard work but good for the memories. Id like to go back some time. Spent alot of time in a place called Archers Post and its were the lion king was inspired from. Theres the rock and everything aparently but i didnt see it. About 6 weeks before we were there a hyena was stalking some blokes so they shot it. Took 30 rounds of 5.56mm to put it down most of the animals were usualy very weary tho.
