Two sentinels

You can just make out the bronze leopard on the large granite boulder looking across Hout Bay towards the The Sentinel and the harbour. (The beach is just to the right, out of the photo.) Also acting as a sentinel of the bay (albeit a rather depressed looking one), the leopard was sculpted in 1963 by Ivan Mitford-Barbeton and placed here in 1963. The last living leopard was shot in Hout Bay in the 1930s. No doubt they used to prey on the baboons and dassies that thrive here now.

  3. A dassie is a rock rabbit - or hyrax. A funny rabbit size mammal that is somehow related to the elephant (something to to with its teeth and feet!)

  5. Its amazing that the Hout Bay leopard has lasted that long on the rock, but also a sad reminder of the precious animals that doesn't live in the mountains and valley around there anymore.

  6. Many websites are involved in the funny picture
    concept and they include the cat playing with the plaything or with the trainer.
    With this amazing app Write Pad, You can take notes by.
    While almost every cat is a work of aesthetic beauty, they are often animals that combine silliness and a fierce disposition.

  9. The news which is telecasting all the information from all the sides of the world is called as world news.
    What is interesting is that you get to read news and analysis that give you an entirely different perspective, rarely seen in corporate-sponsored media.

    These have become world famous with all the passing days.
