Full Ostrich family, Serengeti Too far away to be a good picture, but I for one had never seen baby Ostriches before. This scene has the father (left), mother (right), and 8 youngsters. The skull to the right is a reminder that we're in the Serengeti, and that this is a vulnerable time for the family.

    I like that you pointed out the skull. You are very right in that even though this photo seems to depict a happy family, danger is very real and present in many forms. Posted 11 years ago
