Animals in the Victoria Falls area


Upside down Dung Beetle in front of our door at the Royal Livingstone. Brave Gwenna threw down her camera case in the interest of scale. Now that was a big bug!

Monitor lizard, about three feet long. They eat crocodile eggs, so when a mother croc lays 60 to 90 eggs only about 5 or 10 actually survive to the hatching stage. They are still not out of the woods then since other predators abound.
