August 12 is World Elephant Day

August 9, 2022 By Guy St. Clair

One Man’s Special Interest Each of us has one or another special interest, and I’m often teased because I have three (and they are all reflected in the posts in this personal blog). The “most special” (?) is my fascination with opera. Anyone who knows me quickly learns that my love of opera (and of …

Africa: The Migration (7) – Hippos

September 16, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

Often referred to as “the most characteristic” of Africa’s water animals, the lumbering hippopotamus is truly a wonder to see.

Africa: The Migration

August 27, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

Sometimes referred to as “The Great Migration” or the “Wildebeest Migration,” most people in Africa simply speak of this incredible natural phenomenon as “The Migration.” The sheer scope of this animal trek is, quite frankly, hard to believe for many people. How could so many animals know to come together to move about the continent? With …
