Day 4
Serengeti
(BLD)
Be ready
for incredible
game viewing
today.
When you
look at
different
herds
of animals
you may
think
they all
look alike,
but if
you study
a group
carefully,
you can
begin
to discern
the subtle
differences.
For example,
lions
are distinguished
by tell-tale
scars
on their
faces
and no
