Saturday- is a Day of African nature and I will continue stories about BIG FIVE! For some reason, it always seemed to me and I have already said that buffaloes are the most dangerous animals of the Big Five, most likely because of their unpredictability. The African (black) buffalo  is the largest of all bulls. In the list of the most dangerous animals in Africa, it takes 3rd place - much more people die from it. The main enemy of these large animals is large cats. When crossing the river, during migration, they also become a delicacy of the Nile crocodile. Buffaloes live in herds of 20-30 individuals without leaving the territory for 10-36 years. The male has black, dark grey hair. The female is smaller and reddish in colour. A young bull weighs about a ton, an old one weighs about 1200 kg, a height of 1.8 m, a length of 3–3.5 m. The horns are very strong: not a single bullet can penetrate them. In times of danger, animals reach speeds of up to 57 km / h. The buffalo is unpredicta...

Hatshepsut Everyone knows the stories about the Egyptian pharaohs, and many know their names, but few people know that Egypt was ruled by women. Let me tell you about a woman Pharaoh named Hatshepsut. She ruled from 1490/1489 to 1468 BC. BC., 1479-1458 BC. e. New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt from the XVIII Dynasty. Before accession, she bore the same name (Hatshepsut, that is, "She who is in front of the noble ladies"), which was not changed upon accession to the throne. Sources call her the throne name Maatkar - Maat-Ka-Ra). She bore the titles "Great wife of the king" and "Consort of the god Amun". In fact, removing the minor Thutmose III from power and proclaiming herself pharaoh, Queen Hatshepsut completed the restoration of Egypt after the Hyksos invasion, erected many monuments throughout Egypt, sent an expedition to Punt and, apparently, conducted military campaigns. Along with Thutmose III, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, Ramses II and Cleopatra VII, she is co...

Bowls club https://www.glenclub.co.za/ Bowls, or lawn bowls, is a sport where the goal is to roll offset balls so that they come to rest next to a smaller ball called a jack or kitten. It is played on a bowling lawn, which can be flat (for "flat green bowls"), convex, or uneven (for "green bowls"). It is usually played outdoors. Bowls are a variation of the game of petanque (Italian boccia), which, in general, forms, are of ancient or prehistoric origin. Ancient Greek variations are recorded that included throwing light objects (such as flat stones, coins, and later stone balls) as much as possible. This is a very ancient game. The method of tossing balls to get as close as possible to the goal was recorded in ancient Rome. This game was popularized in Roman Gaul by soldiers or sailors. In a Roman tomb in Florence, people are shown playing this game, bending over to measure points. The history of the creation of this game in England certainly dates back to the 13th ...

April Promenade! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTnxkk9bo2E Having settled on Fresnaye, we could not help but enjoy our long beautiful walks and I will share them with you. Until I bought myself an iPhone, I had to carry a camera with me all the time, and I do love to walk on a light, it was a bit of a sinker for me.
