小熊猫 Red panda.
You wouldn't believe how fast and agile this guy is, unlike the giant panda. This is the best shot of a red panda I could get!

The released raccoon didn't run very far away. He just kinda slowly walked away. If Clint walked up to him, he'd just try to be on the opposite side of the tree, or slowly run to another tree and try to hide behind it. But he wasn't running for his life by any means.

Battle of Ngala
Image by Crazy George
These elephants were not as happy as we were to see the wild dogs, drawing into a circle around the calves and bellowing and trumpeting. We then witnessed a five-minute standoff before the matriarch of the herd led a charge through the pack. Before we knew it another 10-15 elephants arrived on the scene, and the now enlarged herd charged again. A huge bull elephant then arrived and charged through the scattering packed.
This photo shows the matriarch leading the second charge.
"Oh, my God, you will never see this again," said our ranger, Lyson Ngwenya, who had never heard of, let alone witnessed, such behaviour in all his years as a game ranger. I'm left wondering why I did not switch to video mode on my camera, but I was too engrossed experiencing the amazing sighting in entirety rather than through a viewfinder.
