Now you have to look cute. Bummer….

How’d the elephants miss them.

Cue Mancini music…….”Your father’s feathers”……

Anyone see “Hatari”????

Well can you picture that?

And they say photo safaris are “eco-friendly”!

Geez those ostriches look grumpy!

I mean, you know, if you want, we can still shoot you –

Don’t worry, when you go over and start begging food from them, you’ll get your revenge.

I speak from experience (at the Wildlife Ranch near New Braunfels, TX., which has its share of ostriches).

The elephants stopped charging because someone took away their credit cards, remember?

What a strange camera Mr Hemingway is aiming.

Posing for a picture is just too much work.

Yes, MontanaLady, I’ve seen “Hatari”. It’s one of my favorite John Wayne movies. The scene at the end where he’s walking around a half-tied Rhino (within range of horn & hoof) made me respect his bravery more than anything else he had done on-screen. It’s obvious that it’s really him in there, not a stunt double. And, Red Buttons and the rest of the cast make it a very watchable movie.

That’s why ostriches stick their heads in the sand - they hate having their pictures taken.

I wonder if there are four zapped elephants back on the trail? It must be handy having a witch in the car.

The elephants missed them because Broomie, misunderstanding the term “flash photography,” did something that made them all run away.

But they do just shoot you. With cameras.
