There are a lot of smaller things that are very interesting to see.

We saw lots of turtles, only they call the land ones tortoises and the water ones terrapins.  Here are two terrapins, one coming out of the water and one walking on dry land.  At one spot we saw 13 terrapins and a small crocodile trying to cross the road at a low place where a creek could flow across if the water was high.  Somehow they must have felt the stream was better on the other side.

You can contrast them with these two leopard tortoises.  They were so close to the car that I had to open the door to get the pictures.  They were just truckin' on down the road.

Don't you love the sole of his foot?  What neat tracks he must make.  These two were both about ten inches/25 cm long with beautiful markings.

I don't know (or care, really !!) the name of this spider.  The image is almost life-size.  The little dots to the right are insects caught in its web.

Dung beetles are among the more famous small things of Africa.  This one pushed her ball of elephant dung about 25 yards/meters from the edge of the cleared area to a small building in the picnic spot where we were having lunch.  We guessed she wanted to be in the shade of the building.

She tried to dig a hole to put the ball with her egg into, but the dirt was too rocky as you can see.  She had a hard time making the ball go over this piece of wire.

Giving up finally on this area, she pushed it all the way back to where she began.  They push with their back feet while standing on their front legs.  This ball was about 3 inches/8 cm in diameter.  In the end she chose an area under a bush with rather soft sand to bury the ball, after pushing it all that way and back.  Such persistence and determination!
