Mara skulls
Category: Mara Triangle | Date: Mar 02 2008 | By: admin
On arrival in the Mara one often sees bones on the ground all over the place and sometimes they get collected and left at key spots. I love studying bones so took these photographs and wondered if you could identify them…
Easy? Try these then…..
Sorry about the missing teeth….
How many could you identify?
Our trip to Mara was punctuated with some really fun and interesting adventures. Tomorrow I will upload another podcast about an amazing incident that I and many others, still find hard to believe. It involves a fight between a lion and a warthog.

OK, here’s trying…
1. Cape Buffalo
2. Hyaena
3. Nile Crocodile
4. Hippo
5. Zebra
6. Impala
They’re fascinating and rather beautiful.
How did I do?

#1 Buffalo (that’s a freebie question!) #4 crocodile. The rest I’d only be guessing. Really looking forward to this new podcast( first one was terrific).

Sheryl, you got that right…but then again, you never know. Paula, you have left us with a cliff hanger!

I love you guys! Thanks for being so much fun. Yes Wim got almost all of them - but Sheryl got the trick skull, - a lion not hyena. Notice how the canine teeth have been removed - they are valuable as trinkets sold to tourist who like to wear them on a neck chain (!)

Hey Paula… if you put your cursor over each skull it gives you the name…. So i guess I got them all right as well!!!! Thanks tho!
