Cool bits from our recently concluded killifish field research work in the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe.
A nicely camouflaged lapwing nest (it’s a bird) and some giraffe spoors by one of our favorite seasonal ponds in the center of the park.

It’s that time of the year when our team at the @leibnizfli.bsky.social does field work in the Gonarezhou National Park. This year the rains came late and in large amounts, making it harder to find fish.
In the pics a beautiful spotted killifish and the typical butterfly-shaped mopane leaf.
