The Bateleur is generally silent, but can produce a variety of barks and screams. The bird spends a considerable amount of time on the wing, particularly in low-altitude glides."Bateleur" is French for "tumbler". This name implies the bird's characteristic habit of rocking its wings or tilting action from side to side when gliding, as if catching its balance. The wings are held in a slightly bent, deep 'V', position and fast flight with. Bateleurs hunt from swift, direct gliding flight across country, or in wide sweeping circles. #natgeo #natgeowild #earthcapture #sonybbcearth #sonyalphain #birdsofinstagram #wildlife #wildlifephotography #travel #nature #wild #maasaimara #africa #eagle #bateleur #raptor #deepakshankar #deepakshankarphotography #animals #shots_of_animals #instadaily #photooftheday #birdphotography #naturebrilliance #natureperfection #animalphotography #fearless #hawkeye #animallovers #natgeoyourshot (at Maasai Mara National Reserve Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDUGk-gadk/?igshid=1lty507p9as6y

A leopard hunt sequence attached, the story is savage and all about survival. What does it take to see a hunt? Patience - We saw this hunt sequence on the 4th day of our 5-day trip. We found Kaboso (The Leopard in the Pictures) stalking a herd of Impalas from the bush. She made quiet movements to move closer to the Impala she had marked. Suddenly she went incognito for more than an hour. Our Maasai told us that the hunt would not take place here and quickly moved us to the other side of the bush where 3 impalas were left behind by the herd. In a couple of minutes, the impala's had noted the big cat's presence. They had a young calf, the male made a dash in a bid to distract the leopard but Kaboso had her eyes fixed on another animal. The female then tried to move the baby into the bush and in her bid to evade the cat was pinned to the floor. Kaboso moved the kill to a nearby tree. Here comes the hard part of wildlife. The calf sulked and yelped for the mother and ran away in the opposite direction. The male abandoned the calf, a young life was on its own. The next morning we found the calf lurking around the same area in the hope of seeing his mother, Kaboso rested not far and watched the little calf yelp. In a swift movement, the calf was killed too and hung up a tree. Wildlife is savage and not necessarily a pleasant moment to enjoy all the time, it does teach one the circle and the importance of life. Kaboso too had 2 cubs, so she had to kill frequently to make her family survive. #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #leopard #naturephotography #earthcapture #photography #natgeo #wild #natgeowild #naturelovers #travel #leopardsofinstagram #canon #ig #deepakshankarphotography #photooftheday #hunt #deepakshankar #love #maasaimara #sonybbcearth #africa #perfection #conservation #captures #adventure #best #birding #yourshotphotographer @naturein_focus @natgeo @canonasia @canonindia_official @natgeowild @natgeoadventure @sonybbcearth @natgeoyourshot @sonybbcearth @nature.ttl @bbcearth https://www.instagram.com/p/B_FA0VpgpMW/?igshid=1qx2a9z5j8w0z

Kori Bustard. . The kori bustard is arguably the largest flying bird native to Africa. Being a large and heavy bird, it avoids flying if possible. When alarmed it will first run and, if pushed further, will take to the air on the run with much effort, its wings making heavy wingbeats. Once airborne it flies more easily with slow, measured wingbeats, with the neck extended and the legs folded. It usually remains low and lands again within sight. #koribustard #bustard #birdsofinstagram #birdsofprey #birdlovers #wildlifephotography #natureperfection #sonyalphain #sony200600 #sonya9 #natgeowild #natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #yourshotphotographer #sonybbcearth #bbcearth #photooftheday #instagood #deepakshankarphotography #deepakshankar #nature_sultans #photography #birdfacts #animalplanet #discovery #earth #savetheplanet #birdbrilliance #conservation #nature_brilliance (at Maasai Mara National Reserve Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9VpaGxAmv4/?igshid=1jlw6359n0tig

Meet Mr. Grumpy Olbarnoti is the dominant male of the Enkuyanai Pride. A pride that i follow closely and have seen them on every visit to the savannah. Many tales of how Olbarnoti and his brother Lorpapit took over a pride, some maasai say it was the loudest night at the Mara region and some narrate the savagery of how they made the females submit to them. Right now their pride is among the strongest in the region. #lion #lionking #maasaimara #masaimara #sonyalpha #sonyalphain #sony200600 #sonya9 #savannah #natgeowild #natgeo #natgeoafrica #natureperfection #naturebrilliance #nature #travel #wildlifephotography #deepakshankarphotography #deepakshankar #wildlife #liontales #animalplanet #king #instagood #photooftheday #bigcats #nature_sultans #sonybbcearth #bbcearth #yourshotphotographer (at Maasai Mara National Reserve Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TKqmXgEwy/?igshid=1cm8mao0ub6wr

Curiosity. Male lions spend 18 to 20 hours a day snoozing, while females get 15 to 18 hours of shuteye. following a large meal, lions may even sleep up to 24 hours—talk about a catnap! #lion #lioncub #africa #kenya #masaimara #earthpix #nature_sultans #deepakshankar #capturedoncanon #canon #canonafrica #canonindia #shotoncanon #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #phototour #simba #portraits #animals #cats #bigcats #cubs #natgeo #bbcearth #discovery #nature #savetheplanet #catnaps (at Masai Mara) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuoFArKlLia/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aqyg4g99lf1o

Submission. This is a follow up post to the video i posted this morning. A male lion can mate up to 100 times a day in a process that lasts only about 17 seconds. They can keep this up for around four to five days.
