It always takes me a week or so to reflect on a safari in Tanzania before I can really wrap my head around what I've just seen. So much happens in a day on safari there that it s hard to pick out just a few highlights.
Like many homes across Australia at the moment, our household has been caught up in the frenzy of Lion King Ooshie collectibles as part of the promotion by Woolworths to coerce us all to buy more groceries from them. My kids are nuts about them, as are most of the kids at school, it seems. Never mind they are plastic rubbish that will end up in the ocean as turtle food in the not too distant future. To the kids they are pure gold! I took our youngest, Shep, to see the new Lion King movie a week ago and it really did live up to expectations - both his and mine. The movie is in the process of making billions of dollars through The Lion King franchise, but what is Disney doing to help conserve lions in the wild?
If I asked you which of the following animals were most closely related to African elephants, which ones would you say?
1) Lions
2) Elephant shrews
3) Zebras
4) Aardvarks
5) Dugongs
The answer may surprise you!
Always wanted to go to the Serengeti but just can't afford peak season prices? Well here s an offer you don't want to miss!
All week I've been trying to write this blog, ever since the release of the UN IPBES' report.

So big a deal in fact, that it s given me writer's block. One million species are now at risk of extinction.
