The spotted hyena’s famous “laugh” is actually a sound made to alert other group members to a source of food. This noise can be heard up to three miles away, and is one of many sounds made by this sociable species to communicate with each other.Hyenas are skilled hunters as well as scavengers, and their large, powerful jaws allow them to chomp through every part of their prey, including the skin and bones. The only parts which cannot be digested are hair, horns and hooves - the hyena will regurgitate these in pellets.Hyenas are found in many habitats, including woodland, Savannah and desert, though being nocturnal, they are rarely observed. Human-wildlife conflict has long been a problem. Hyenas are known to have eaten people, though it is more likely that they will kill livestock, which results in them being targeted by hunters.

# MATING  process for  # OSTRICHES ! Ostriches perform a complex mating ritual consisting of the  # cock  alternating wing beats until he attracts a mate, when they will go to the mating area and he will drive away all  # intruders . They graze until their behavior is synchronized, then the feeding becomes secondary and the process takes on a ritualistic appearance. The cock will then excitedly flap alternate wings again, and start poking on the ground with his bill. He will then violen tly flap his wings to symbolically clear out a nest in the dirt. Then, while the  # hen  runs circle around him with lowered wings, he will wind his head in a  # spiral  motion. She will drop to the ground and he will mount for  # copulation .  https://www.ssemambotours.com/4-days-kidepo-savannah-wildl…/   # ugandaforbirds   # kideponationalpark  #Ostriches  www.ugandagorillastrekking.com   www.ssemambotours.com

                                                               MOUNTAIN GORILLAS The mountain gorilla is highly social and lives in relatively stable, cohesive groups held together by long-term bonds between adult males and females. The dominant silver back generally determines the movements of the group, leading it to appropriate feeding sites throughout the year. He also mediates conflicts within the group and protects it from external threats. When the group is attacked by humans, leopards, or other gorillas, the silver back will protect them even at the cost of his own life. He is the center of attention during rest sessions and young gorillas frequently stay close to him and include him in their games. If a mother dies or leaves the group, the silver back is usually the one who looks after her abandoned offspring, even allo...
