Snapshot Serengeti Talk
Thanks! Glad to be back! 😃
#egyptiangoose I think?
there's a #hyena hidden in the dark: Photoshop's Shadows/Highlights revealed it!
#itchy
Lunch for baby!
Pensive #baboon
Since this seems to be a fire, would that bird most likely be a #stork?
#impala shake dat booty!
very limber #tommy
"I expect you're all wondering why I called you here today." #hartebeest called a meeting with #zebra.
Big #fire!
The profile of this #bird is unfamiliar to me
Happy to be back! 😄
#ostrich!
#secretary-bird getting in an afternoon's preening.
#fire
#bird flying across image, maybe 2 smaller ones in center grass?
#hyena silhouette!
Medium to large #bird of some sort in the lower left shadow, but I can't tell what, even with lightening it in Photoshop.
Looks like the shadow of a #vervet or #baboon, not sure which!
Nice #hornbill shot
It's hard to tell the scale in these photos, sometimes! It's a #buffalo head.
nice #bird silhouette in frame 1
Baby #baboon
#baboon ASG000yd01
Snoozing #hyena
#elephant ASG0010hcx
Everybody run!
I think this #hartebeest is signalling planes for landing with those ears!
#giraffeknees
Running the size gamut in one shot -- #ostrich and #guineafowl
Say what you will about the knocked-over camera: it's showing #gunieafowl #chicks!
2 #zebra...soon to be 3.
At least 8 #elephants, with 2 calves.
#wildebeest calf and mama
#side-striped-jackal
The business end of an #elephant!
Camera survived, though: ASG000zwgl
tip of a #bird tail, I think
Answered my own question: #tommy See ASG0011pzz, taken 2 minutes later
#human unlocking the camera box!
#grants or #tommy?
nice sequence of a #bird
#wildebeest -- looks like the loser of this match: ASG000orv2
Alert #tommy front and center!
#giraffe missing tail tuft.
I had to lighten them in Photoshop to see much!
3 #vervet-monkeys & 1 #guineafowl. Something on far left in the distance. Don't see anything on far right except for monkey.
Someone is having a little fun with us!
#balloon
Calisthenics #dik-dik. Play it: ONE two three and ONE two three and ONE two three..
the rare two-headed #zebra in the middle!
#human hand
#bird -- #grey-backed-fiscal? #wattled-starling?
Just ignore them.
#heron of some ilk, possibly?
Peekaboo #jackal, I believe
I think it may be a #hartebeest from the color of the coat and the shape of the tail.
Awesome shot!
Possibly #hyena
Maybe #serval--can't tell the scale, exactly, but it looks kind of small.
#buffalo saying hello
two small #birds on ground in center and center right.
forest of #elephant legs
#babybeest
proud male #ostrich
#weedwhacker
I think it's a fuzzy animal, possibly #hyena.
Something very small moving around in the center. I guessed #reptile as it looks vaguely lizard-like, but I'm not sure.
#elephant resting its trunk on a log
#ants again, I think!
Close-up of a fluffy head of grass?
spiky-haired #wildebeest teenager!
Looks to me like another #wildebeest, possibly a young one, in which case the mother might be nuzzling it.
#eland head in frame #3: ASG0011qx8
Looks like a #buffalo -- stocky build, heavy shape on head that resembles buffalo horns..

#giraffeknees!
Nice #bird shots!
#butterfly, I think
#hartebeest - see ASG000y6ek
#hartebeest ASG000y6ek
#hartebeest - see ASG000y6ek, taken a few minutes before
#eland ASG0011ebf
Probably #hartebeest
Just give it your best guess! (I'd guess #hartebeest, given that silhouette.)
The movement of the grass looks creepy when the camera is tilted like this!
I predict #wildebeest, as they tend to pal around with #zebra.
#starling?
#baby #wildebeest I'm seeing all sorts of young creatures today!
Looked like it to me, but wanted confirmation!
#baby #porcupine!
#oxpecker?
Is this a #black-headed-heron?
Every pic is identified by multiple people, so the correct classifications will outweigh the incorrect, so no worries.
I think #wildebeest, by the size, coloring, and faint vertical stripes of darker hair
smiling #baby #elephant
I'd say #wildebeest -- warthogs hold their tails straight up when they run.
lovely spotted coat!
#mongoose, I believe
#lion! ASG0011k2j
#serval on the prowl!
#warthog hiding in the darkness!
It's important that you do guess, as it rules things out.
Please read this link about why there's no "Unidentified": http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/boards/BSG0000006/discussions/DSG0000dxb
#oxpeckers
#ants, I think!
The largest herd of #elephants I've seen yet!
#one-horned tommy
Peekaboo!
I'd guess #thomsons-gazelle
#impala ASG000y24g
There's a lot more #zebra in this picture that it seems at first glance!
#human! ASG000o7wc
#warthog passing by?
#bird in frame 1
#giraffe! ASG000pr6r
#white-bellied-bustard?
#wildebeest ASG000tuaz
#baboon? #mongoose? Any other guesses?
#impala - the male's horns are larger and more curved than Grants, and the white on the rump doesn't go above the tail. Cute babies!
OH HAI THERE
Might have successfully hatched!
#hartebeest. ASG000pvo2
#elephant
#weaver-bird
#lion ASG000qclj
Also, hippos tend to spend the day in water and get out at night.
The photo set I linked to was taken by the camera less than two minutes later, and shows an elephant.
#stampede!
The magnificent #hoverzebra in its natural habitat.
#elephant! ASG000r7o8
#cheetah! ASG000o10k
#oxpecker
#white-bellied-bustard
#warthog: ASG000qhl7
Dramatic #grass in frame #2!
#elephants ASG000mv4v
Is this an #owl or vegetation that's disguised as one?
It's those two #birds again. Must be a nest nearby.
#elephants! ASG000qbf6
Random #ear in frame 3
3 #birds - two on branches, 1 on ground in foreground.
Yup, wildebeest: ASG000pauu
Looks like it! ASG000rf3i
#buffalo ASG000pmd3
Tommy: ASG000ql0x
Also, fairly sure it's a #buffalo, although this was taken an hour or so later: ASG000ptbu
Flies, as they appear in a number of other images taken near this sequence.
#zebra in the background
I shall scratch my head on your butt!
#hyena, I think. ASG000rzp1
#elephant ASG000r7o6
Curious #impala
#nest
#cheetah tail. ASG000sski
A flotilla of #flies.
#lion ASG000smvh

#zebra ASG000mt6j
#bird
#wildebeest ASG000njwy
#wildebeard! ASG000oi5d
Curious #grants-gazelle
#serval lasers charging!
Dude's only got one horn, it looks like.
#warthog at left
Scratch that itch!
#butterfly
There's a small brown #bird moving around in the left center.
#tourist bus
This was taken four minutes before this one: ASG000s18h although I don't know what that one is.
#lion nose
#lion ASG000rf1l
#bird tailfeathers
I'm guessing #warthog
What #bird is this?
My first #porcupine of the season!
It's those two #birds again. Gotta be nesting nearby.
Tailfeathers, perhaps.
#bird on the left in the grass
Good call, I say: ASG000pqf7 ASG000pqf8
I think it's another tommy with weird lighting on it: ASG000puwf
#zebra in a hurry
#cheetah
male #ostrich giving the side-eye to the camera.
#zebra just starting to spook!
#hartebeest ASG000pv7o
#dragonfly
#elephant snacking on a strip of bark, it looks like.
#headphones
#cheetah ASG000pv3f
Probably #cheetah ASG000pv3u
I think it's a fuzzy #cheetah: ASG000pv3u and ASG000pv3f
#cheetah ASG000pv3u and ASG000pv3f
Don't mark it as "nothing" when there's something there, just give it your best guess even if it's just a stab in the dark.
Read this: http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/boards/BSG0000006/discussions/DSG0000dxb
Sometimes I wish we had a sequence of frames in night shots--are those #giraffe spots looking like birds or #oxpeckers disgused as spots?
What #antelope is that in the background?
#balloon!
#bird in frame 3?
#banded-mongoose, I think
#zebra ASG000r1g7
#hartlaubs-bustard
eerie-looking tree.
#elephant ASG000qbnk
#impala ASG000p0af
Nothing here, but the light is wonderful.
#wattled-starling?
I lived in the Serengeti as a kid and loved watching them!

http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/subjects/ASG000rocn
Discovered the culprit: http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/subjects/ASG000rocn Didn't see it in the Birds posts, but might have missed it.
#dust-devil or evidence of a car just passing!
Are these feathers on a #bird's wing?
small #bird on branch.
#dik-dik rump
Ah, thank you!
Pensive #buffalo!
I think it's a mix of #wildebeest and #zebra.
Possibly a flying insect.
#birds #oxpeckers?
#eland? #topi? Or #wildebeest?
Looks like those two #impala are about to butt heads!
#balloons !
Spiderweb!
#lion ear?
Anyone else feel like the Count from Sesame Street? One! One moving #zebra! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
I love how #warthogs run with their tails sticking up!
#elephant tail? If so, I really want to see how the camera's positioned!
My first #ostriches of the season!
3 #weaver-birds and #nests
Whose #ear is this shaggy?
#reedbuck rump?
"Junior, it's time you were weaned!"
#giraffe tail flying in from the right!
Curly trunk!
#zebra and #hare!
#weaver-bird #nests and 3 birds
#birds on bush and on rock.
Almost all the #impala I spot seem to have places to be and are on their way!
Something spooked the #zebra! (And #wildebeest don't care.)
Two small #birds front and center.
Ooh, nice shot!
How many #zebra would you say are here?
Can't tell if it's tiny and closer or big and far away!
#porcupines! My first in this season.
Two #birds.
tiny #bird sitting on branch on right.
A whole herd!
Ah, it's Howard the branch again. Hello, Howard!
#bird of some ilk.
Scent-marking the camera?
I've seen this thorny branch so often I feel like it's a friend. I shall call it Howard.
#reedbuck?
The same possible lilac breasted roller #bird as I got a few minutes ago? Guess it liked sitting on top of the camera!
#landrover
A #bird of some ilk?
#elephant camouflage! Looking like a tree.
A #bird tail?
#Giraffe waay in the background on the far left (only spotted it when it was moving).
Huh...can't tell if it's animal, vegetable, or mineral.
Field of stripes! (Does this count as interacting?)
Big ol' #insect
#human
Spotted and fuzzy, assuming it's a #cheetah ...
#insect
Awesome! My first #dikdik on Snapshot Serengeti!
There appear to be two animals in this one, neither one of which I'm sure about!
My first #serval, I believe.
Is that #bird a #plover of some sort standing there?
What is this #bird? It's walking in the right bottom half--seems to have a yellowish head.
#zebra action shot!
My first #leopard!
I can ID the teeny-tiny #giraffe in the background more easily than the thing moving in the mid-ground.
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind.
#bird - standing in the middle right, to the right of the clump of grass
My best guesses are something's tail or a branch swinging in the wind.
White-tailed #mongoose?
Can you spot the #zebra? 😃
#nests
#nests Weaver bird?
#ipod
I counted 11!
Zebra leg?
#aardwolf
#bird - standing in the line of shade over on the left.
#giraffe
Up close and intimate!
#bird - standing just right of center, in the distance.
#bird flying through
Possibly white-bellied bustards? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-bellied_Bustard
#bird Three long-legged birds wandering through the kopjes.
#bird in the lower left! Is it an ostrich chick or something else?
