The African buffalo is a large sub-Saharan African bovine. There are five subspecies that are recognized as being valid. Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the nominotypical subspecies, and the largest one, found in Southern Africa and East Africa. 

The African buffalo is one of the most successful grazers in Africa. It lives in savannas, swamps and floodplains, as well as mopane grasslands, and the forests of the major mountains of Africa. This buffalo prefers a habitat with dense cover, such as reeds and thickets, but can also be found in open woodland.

Grass forms the bulk of the buffalo's diet. Without fresh green feed, buffaloes deteriorate rapidly. They devote a large portion of their time to grazing and feeding. After grazing on grass, just like cows, they spend time chewing their cud (or bolus) to extract even more nutrients from their food.

Stretching from the Linyanti River all the way to Savute Marsh, the winding waterways of the Savute Channel have pumped life into the western section of Chobe National Park for many thousands of generations. However, this fickle and unpredictable channel, which has a fascinating history of flooding and drying up, independently of good rainy seasons and flood levels elsewhere, has mystified local inhabitants, geologists and others for many years.  When David Livingstone, the first European to visit the area, saw the Savute Channel in 1851 it was flowing. Thirty years later it had disappeared and the Savute Marsh had dried out, remaining this way for almost 80 years. It flowed again from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, when it again receded, hence its reputation as ‘the river that flows in both directions’.

-----------------

Die gewundenen Wasserwege des Savute-Kanals, die sich vom Linyanti-Fluss bis nach Savute Marsh erstrecken, haben über viele Generationen Leben in den westlichen Teil des Chobe-Nationalparks gebracht. Doch dieser wankelmütige und unberechenbare Kanal, der unabhängig von guten Regenzeiten und Überschwemmungen anderswo eine faszinierende Geschichte von Überschwemmungen und Austrocknung hat, hat Einheimische, Geologen und andere seit vielen Jahren Rätsel bereitet. Als David Livingstone, der erste Europäer, der die Gegend besuchte, 1851 den Savute-Kanal sah, floss er. Dreißig Jahre später war es verschwunden und die Savute Marsh war ausgetrocknet und blieb fast 80 Jahre lang so. Er floss von Ende der 1950er bis Anfang der 1980er Jahre wieder, als er wieder zurückging, daher sein Ruf als „der Fluss, der in beide Richtungen fließt“.

We stayed at a game lodge on the banks of the Chobe River in Chobe National Park. The lodge is known for having all female rangers. We could have spent our entire time on the boats floating up and down the river and watching the wildlife, but we did go on one game drive. We were very impressed with our rangers and what they described as Botswana's very serious, very successful protection of their wild critters.

One thing i really love about Jigokuraku is how it portrays nudity outside of sexual contexts, like when Nurugai and Tenza clean off in the river or when Gabi and the others take baths at Hoko's house, or Rien's final form, there's nothing sexual about it, they're just naked.

It also contrasts with when something sexual is actually happening, like when we meet Tao Fa and Ju Fa for the first time and the scene with Rien and Chobe, its sexual yes but it doesn't have that fanservice-y feel. It just happens.

#jigokuraku #hells paradise #i dont exactly know where i was going with this #but honestly i just think its neat #jigokuraku on the brain purrr #also i still cant believe chobe actually fucked Rien like- #damn he was doing it all to survive #and like i have to respect that

Chobe River forms the northern boundary of Chobe National Parkand begins its existence as a small mountain spring in Angola, where it is known as the Kwando. From here, it travels great distances through the Kalahari sands before it reaches Botswana and becomes the Linyanti. It finally becomes the Chobe at the border post of Ngoma, from where it continues to run along Botswana’s northern border before meeting the mighty Zambezi and tumbling over the precipice at Victoria Falls. The Chobe’s course, like the Okavango and the Zambezi River, is affected by fault lines which are extensions of the Great Rift Valley.

------------------

Der Chobe-Fluss bildet die nördliche Grenze des Chobe-Nationalparks und beginnt seine Existenz als kleine Bergquelle in Angola, wo er als Kwando bekannt ist. Von hier aus legt er große Entfernungen durch die Kalahari zurück, bevor er Botswana erreicht und zum Linyanti wird. Am Grenzposten von Ngoma wird er schließlich zum Chobe, von wo aus er weiter entlang der Nordgrenze Botswanas verläuft, bevor er auf den mächtigen Sambesi trifft und bei den Victoriafällen in die Tiefe stürzt. Der Lauf des Chobe ist wie der Okavango und der Sambesi von Verwerfungslinien betroffen, die Verlängerungen des Great Rift Valley sind.

Heute bin ich nach Kasane gefahren und war gerade auf einer Bootsfahrt auf dem Chobe River. Dabei konnten wir Elefanten, Nilpferde, Giraffen, Büffel, Krokodile, Impalas, Kudu und viele Vögel von nahem sehen. Auch auf dem weg nach Kasane habe ich noch Elefanten, Giraffen und eine Schildkröte (welche ein Stück mit mir mitgefahren ist) gesehen.
