@MpiloKhumalo_ That’s why it’s important to be extra cautious when all seems well and great.

Interesting fact: Crocodiles digest their food in the heat/sun. So after big meals, they get out of the water and just sit in the sun. This crocodile was being monitored by drones and they realized it had been sitting in that position for 3+days. That's how they figured...

A lion can stand three feet from your face on a safari and not even register that you exist. To its brain, you and the jeep are the same animal. One big weird shape that doesn't smell like food. Stand up though, and you go from invisible to dinner in under a second. For the lion, you and the other tourists never register as separate people. The whole jeep looks like one giant creature made of metal and fabric and humans all smushed together. That shape has no scent of any prey animal, and it moves nothing like one. The brain searches its mental file of every animal it's ever hunted, finds no match, and moves on. Lions learn this from their mothers. In places like the Serengeti or Maasai Mara, they see more than 100 of these jeeps a day. Cubs grow up watching mom ignore every truck. They copy what mom does. After a few generations, an entire population of lions has decided that safari vehicles are boring background noise, no different from trees or rocks. Hunting is expensive. A lion that picks the wrong target won't have enough energy left to catch the right one tomorrow. So when the brain sees a weird shape that doesn't fit anything in its hunting memory, it just skips it. But the whole truce hangs on one rule. The shape has to stay the same. The second someone stands up or leans out the window, the big creature breaks apart. Suddenly there's a person-sized snack standing where a big boring shape used to be. The lion's brain registers the change in under a second. In June 2015, a 29-year-old American filmmaker rolled down her window at a park near Johannesburg to take a photo. A lioness was already a meter from the truck, just watching. It lunged through the open window and bit her in the neck. She died at the scene. Ten years later, in September 2025, a zookeeper at Safari World in Bangkok stepped out of his vehicle in the lion section. One lion charged. The rest of the pride joined within seconds. The park had run these tours for over 40 years and nobody had ever died like that. Craig Packer has spent over 40 years studying lions and started the world's first lion research center back in 1986. He's said it plainly more than once. Lions don't have much patience for humans acting weird. Sit still and you're part of the furniture; move suddenly and you're a target. The truce works because every lion in those parks grew up watching its mom ignore the trucks. Break the pattern, and the whole thing falls apart in about as long as it takes to stand up.

Thabo Smol - Di Thupa tsa Smol 💿

Thabo Smol dropped a beautiful album. Di Thupa Tsa Smol. It’s got a jazzy feel to it. It’s about 3 hours long with 28 tracks but it doesn’t feel that long once you get going. Quite a refreshing sound. Let’s support the brother and stream that tape! It’s good. I promise.

My brother @thabo_smol just dropped a magical project . What a treat!!! Blessed to be part of the magic that is happening! Stream it now!! music.apple.com/za/album/di-th…

Thabosmol dropping a Jazz/alternative album was not on my bingo cards I'm enjoying it ❤️.

@TansuYegen Footage clear but we still can’t see our moon in this motion or reality.

Mars’s moon Phobos orbits just 6,000 km above the surface and is only 22 km Wide...

No Mr. Musk you are a LIAR 🤥

We defeated your racist apartheid parents & their government. We defeated the US & UK regimes that stood with them. With the full might of the people behind the most glorious global human rights campaign in history: the anti-apartheid movement. We will defeat you too, with your robots & dollars!

The Strait of Hormuz lies within the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. South African vessels can pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Doja Cat closes out her concert for Global Citizen’s Move Afrika in Pretoria, South Africa: “For a place that I never been to, I sure do feel like I’ve been here before. That’s whats special about South Africa.”
