The Chamilandu Honey Badgers Return
For most of the 2011 safari season, honey badgers would sneak in at night to raid the Chamilandu Bushcamp kitchen. We caught them on camera to find out whether or not they were enjoying chefs George & Omex's left overs! Voice by Jonathan Truss http://www.jonathantruss.com/
For anyone who has slept even just one night in the South Luangwa in Zambia. When the Honey Badger gets into the kitchen camp tent there is only one comparison I can think of that could even come close to what they sound like, and that is turning a six year old child loose with a brand new drum set. Drawing the short straw to see who will now go get the honey badger out of camp is the worst of it all! I just love this clip!
The Ethiopian Wolf Project
There is no doubt that creatures are vanishing from the earth; with so many different species in the world some extinctions go unnoticed. Documentary wildlife photographers are in the unique position to raise awareness of species and the biodiversity needed to help them thrive.
The Ethiopian wolf is one such species at risk. It is estimated that less than 425 individuals in six populations remain in the wild today. Increased human encroachment is putting pressure on habitat and resources the wolves depend on for survival. Introduced disease from domestic dogs, isolation of gene pools and habitat loss to grazing are some of the issues facing this species.
Photographers Rebecca Jackrel and Will Burrard-Lucas set out on a five week expedition to document the struggle for survival of these enigmatic creatures. From newborn pups to grass rats and mole rats, we scoured the Bale Mountains to bring back captivating images of the wolves and their mountain home.
