This fear of the dark and deep is the reason why I am happy and grateful every day I wasn’t born a duck. Seriously, ducks must be the toughest creatures ever, the Chuck Norrises of the bird world, because they endure this thing all the time. He doesn’t go there for the ducks, but for the fish.

Rather, my trip to the American Museum of Natural History last week was enlivened, however slightly, by spotting a Rock Pigeon perched on top of the elephants in the Hall of African Mammals, safely out of the elements and unexposed to Central Park’s hawks. Not in any espionage sense. The pigeon seemed very comfortable.

If you’ve ever imagined being surrounded by giraffes, up close (at least as close as is safe) and personal with elephants, or one night drive away from seeing notorious predators like leopards and jackals, this is the place for you. Murchison Falls NP truly excels as a place to see the kind of wild mammals Africa is legendary for.

The river cruises up the Chobe River are most famous for the dry season aggregations of African Bush Elephants drawn to the year-round water. But even without huge herds of elephants large game is defiantly the major draw for most people on the cruise. In particular, there are lots of waterbirds.

As yet, there is no data clearly demonstrating that the spread of the invader has brought negative consequences to native species, although the aggressive nature of the Egyptian Goose would clearly indicate that native ducks and other waterfowl are not amused about having to share their space with them.

In my case, I suppose it would be filming the elephants caught in a sandstorm in the Okavango Delta. Then, of course, I’m a sucker for things that make me laugh, so I loved the jumping mandarin ducks, the mandarin ducks flinching and flying. That was one of my favorites as well. Me: Thank you.

Yes, I wanted to also say to him "Yeah dogs are great, but you didn't see my multi-year relationship with Mr. Magoo, a Muscovy duck who was blind in one eye."

Plus, I mean, it’s a giant chicken-looking thing that’s actually related to ducks… with that kind of identity crisis going on, what’s not to love? Seeing that giant piebald bird with a random horn growing out of its forehead standing in an open Brazilian marsh would be a real treat. I thought that was clever.
