Five Second Animal Challenge



5 seconds to draw each of the animals we saw today from memory (badly)

Abdul & black dog



This is not a Churchillian reference to depression - this is a real black dog who insisted on following our boat as we left Manda island - until he finally realised that dogs don't float as well as boats
(imagine how historical events like the battle of Trafalgar would have turned out if the last sentence wasn't fact)

Yusuf's back

Samaki!*




The cats in Shella are finely attuned to the timing of the fishing catch!

*samaki is Swahili for fish...impressed?

Popeye arms...?

Long Turtleman



Was transfixed by the incredibly long man who watches over the turtle eggs on Manda island. He was described as 'poacher turned gamekeeper' as he is now paid a salary to watch the turtle eggs rather than catch 'em.
