Maasai Mara day 2 pm

This afternoon we are working on developing hypotheses to explain giraffe and topi behavior. This will lead to final projects in which the students test their hypotheses by observing behavior in these animals. Developing hypotheses is frustrating so some of the students have gotten slap happy and/or belligerent. They are now demanding we find carnage (I assume they want to see hunting but they are just chanting "carnage" at the moment) and are devising experiments in which they can scare poor, unsuspecting giraffes. I might need to feed them chocolate tonight to appease them...

In the meantime, here are some pictures from our afternoon game drive:
