....big cats from the Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre near Plettenberg Bay in South Africa. Just a couple more shots of the big cats as seen in my previous post, hope you enjoy the smaller kitties in this set too.
I was going to bin the first shot but changed to b/w.
The white lion is not an Albino, it carries a recessive gene which is responsible for the lack of pigmentation.
The seldom seen Serval is a wild cat native to Africa. Their primary prey includes rodents, birds, reptiles, fish, frogs and insects.
The Caracal also a wild cat native to Africa is typically nocturnal and lives mainly alone or in pairs, it preys on small mammals, birds and rodents. It can leap higher than (3 mtrs) 9.8 ft and catch birds in mid-air.
The Marabou stork (undertaker bird) is a massive bird, large specimens are thought to reach a height of 152 cm (60 in) and a weight of 9 kg (20 lb). A wingspan of 3.7 m (12 ft).

Beautiful shots my friend!!
Outstanding series, Sylvia. Great job.
Excellent series! Well done and SO interesting! I always love the cats, one of my favorite parts of the zoo here. I came back several times to that Marabou Stork. I think having her neck is what I fear about getting old! What an interesting body she has!
Outstanding set of images Sylvia.
Really beautiful series, Sylvia and thanks for the ID's!
