Yep Desert Diary

David was having a walk, when a lion started chasing him! David climbed a tree, but the lion stayed at the bottom. Then Horn came along, and scared the lion away. David knew that somebody must have done something very mean to the lion, to make it hate humans. He decided to find the lion and try to help it.

 David was going fishing. He brought a bow and a few arrows, which he fired at the fish. He caught a Bluefish (a kind of large fish) that was big enough for him to eat for a few days. Once he came home, he dug a cool hole that he he could keep all his food in (usually in the desert, underground is the coolest place, and I have a lot of experience on living in the deser t).                                   A Bluefish

David was having a race between Secretariat and Horn. They were about equally matched, but at the end of the race, Secretariat was a few inches ahead of Horn. Then David saw a Kirk's Dik Dik (a kind of very small deer) and caught it. After a few weeks, it was a pet. David called it Bambi. A Kirk's Dik Dik  

David lived in Namibia (a country in southern Africa). He had a pet Namib Desert Horse (rare wild horse, always brown) called Secretariat, after the famous racehorse. He also had a pet white rhino called horn.                                                            Horn   Secretariat

 (Sorry for not writing for the past few days. I was sick.) Kofi and Amadi were making a cage for some somali wild asses (wild donkeys) that they hoped to capture. They managed to get a male, a female and a baby.  This is a picture of  the male This is the female and the baby.

 Kofi and Amadi are etheopians who live in the Bale mountains in ethiopia. About Kofi   Kofi was a tall, strong man. He had a pet Gelada (sometimes called Gelada baboon: a kind of monkey with teeth as large as a leopard) called lion, after his large teeth and his small mane. He had a large spear. About Amadi Amadi was a medium-sized, athletic man. He had a pet Ethiopian wolf (also known as Abyssinian wolf or Ethiopian jackal. Similar in size to a coyote. Red and white) called Ember, after his redish color. He had a bow and arrows.

Ahmed wet to get Whitey. He was going on a mornimg ride, and wanted to go on it while it was still cool.
