@DStv how is this a premier/new and exclusive - as advertised - when I still have the series on my decoder from the first time you first screened the 3 episodes? #askingafriend

Sports that have quietly disappeared off @SuperSportTV - X Games, Winter Olympics, UCI Mountain Biking, UCI Downhill MTB, World Rally Championship...what am I missing? Yes, you can watch highlights, but I can also get that on YT. Whats up @canalplus @DStv ?

Dreamy landscapes...

The magnificent sea stack of Drangarnir with Tindhólmur peaking out from the back left. A rather moody late afternoon on a boat from Sørvágur. Happy with the outcome though.

Celebrating #WorldRhinoDay

May we have many more opportunities to share a quiet moment with these gentle herbivores.

Thank you to all conservationists, anti-poaching units and rhino rescue centres working with rhinos in Africa. You are the real #Superheroes

Perfect way to start a Sunday morning. Hitting the trails over the Mother City.

April and May offers the best riding weather in Cape Town. Just sublime.

Today is #WorldPangolinDay

The word #pangolin comes from ‘penggulung,’ the Malay word for roller – the action a pangolin takes in self-defence

All 8 species of Pangolins are protected under national and int laws. 2 are listed as Critically Endangered on the @IUCNRedList

Nothing beats a mud bath on the banks of The Chobe River.

The green eye of the Nile #Crocodile. The Chobe River, #Botswana

Crocodile eyes contain a horizontal streak of tightly packed receptors called fovea, which gives them an astoundingly extended scope of sight.
