This was one of the most disturbing moments when a leopard found a baby warthog nest. After the mother warthog ran off, the leopard went to town killing [...]

Update: Something happened to the first picture I posted on this entry, so I updated it with an actual photo that I took while on safari.

Hola Madrid!?
“First impressions are important mainly because too many people put way too much faith in them.” I finally arrived in Madrid safe and sound, but not without the random travel “hiccups”.
