Wildlife Biologist and Conservationist Bridget Fry captures the beauty of these animals through her photography.
Always having a passion for Big Cat conservation, whilst doing her MSc, Bridget worked with CCF on a paper looking at their Livestock Guarding Dog Programme, preventing human conflict with Big Cats.
Resting lions in Zambia, Africa
Watch the resting lions closely and see how they use their tails to deter flies from landing on them. Eventually they get irritated and start to try and catch them with their mouths.
PANTHERA LEO
African wild dogs after a hunt in Zambia, Africa
The endangered African wild dogs, otherwise known as the Painted dog (due to their colourful coat colour), can be seen here after a morning hunt. In this particular pack there was was three dogs, that shared their kill and sleeped during the afternoon in the shade. As they sleeped they lay in three directions to keep look out for predators in the bush.
LYCAON PICTUS
Flocks of Southern carmine bee-eater in Zambia, Africa
These brightly coloured birds fly in flocks, as they migrate between central to South Africa. They nest in river banks in colonies, by crocodile infested waters, as a way to protect themselves from predators. This makes them a difficult bird to photograph, but I have managed to photograph a few and these can be found in my Wild Africa portofolios.
