The red lechwe is a staple of seemingly every carnivore's diet in the Okavango Delta. Even the Basarwa people I've talked to have bemoaned the government of Botswana's actions to discourage them from hunting the lechwe. You can't help but respect the tenacity of an animal in the face of everything looking at you as dinner.

The comma. This is not a punctuation character but the name of a #Butterfly I found sunbathing on the ground while #Hiking a few days ago.

This very cute Eastern Cottontail Rabbit was very photogenic, didn't seem to mind me taking it's picture and allowed me to get very close. Big ears, brown eyes and short fluffy white tail is a combination hard to resist. The Eastern Cottontails are a provincially protected species in Ontario.

@twt @rayckeith Totally agree!
I've had the great privilege of visiting the place mentioned in the original post, Volcanos National Park in Rwanda. Went on a hike up a mountain with guides to see the Highland Gorillas there. They're absolutely amazing. They live in an extended-family group with individuals of all sizes and ages.
Some were acting playfully and trying to get our attention, but others were clearly keeping a wary eye on us (even though we were keeping at a safe and respectful distance) in case they needed to step-in to protect the group from strangers.
I was on the tail-end of the group, and as we were leaving, I saw a Silverback who'd been quite defensive-looking had positioned itself between its group and our group. It stretched and relaxed, and caught my eye to let me know it was seeing-off our group. It was a very human gesture, and made it plain to see how closely related gorillas and humans are.

Broad-billed todies are endemic to the island of Hispaniola. I took this shot on a morning walk in Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. Like many territorial insectivorous birds, they occupy a very small territory, which made it easy to spot the bird, return home to grab my camera and find it again in roughly the same spot.
