3 of the big 5 in Bulawayo

The wildlife at Bulawayo airport. Stuffed animals are macabre and sad. But unlike the moth-eaten specimens in Adelaide’s museum (they may have been replaced by now), these at least were well-preserved and had some semblance of dignity given the sacrifice. Of course, it’s always more enjoyable to see these animals with a beating heart and the vigour of life, but a leopard’s coat is a beautiful thing to behold and not something that can safely be viewed up close. And just look at the paws on these creatures.

  1. Haha, those stuffed animals at the airport look a bit sad compared to the real deal! That leopard’s spots are seriously stunning — makes me wanna see one in person someday. Hope u had an awesome time spotting the Big 5 out there❤️
