Happy New Year to you all!
I appologise for being a bit slow in getting the Desktop Backgrounds for this month up on the blog but I have finally got round to it. As always, if you would like to download the file, simply click on the image and then select the “download” button when the image opens in the Box.net window.
The first image is one of my older images of a big male Lion (Panthera leo) which was taken in the Thornybush Game Reserve (Adjacent to Kruger National Park & the Timbavati).
The second image is of a Water Monitor (Varanus niloticus) which was taken off the bridge South of Lower Sabie in the Kruger National Park. These monitors are the largest species of lizard in southern Africa, reaching a body length just short of a metre (Excluding the tail). Like the Rock Monitor, the Water Monitor’s skin and fat are used in the “muti” (traditional medicine) trade and the skin is used in the leather industry.
Both of these images are also available on the website. We are always looking for feedback and constructive criticism so please feel free to contact us:
