White rhino prefer to eat certain types of grass and preferably short grass.
With this in mind, it is not uncommon for them during this time of year to create areas of short grass to which they will return time and again to get their supply of grazing. R ains this year have often been in the form of thunderstorms and these have produced some spectacular sunsets. Typical of this type of rain is a short sharp downpour followed by clear weather with conditions cooler than the heat which generated such a storm. W eaver birds have had a good season in Mala Mala this year and some trees have been heavily burdened by their cleverly woven nests. Each species of weaver makes a different type of nest and species can be identified on this basis.
