I’m in South Africa and just got back from a Safari in a lovely private game reserve a couple of hours north of Cape Town. With my new camera I feel like the shutter bug I was when I was a teenager. Here is a lovely pic of a couple of zebra. (Does anyone know the collective noun for a group of zebra?) And the hippo shot is my new computer desktop.

I think a group of zebra is called a harem. I sort of recall that from a report someone gave in grade school.

Oxford gives three options: cohort, herd, or zeal, in order of preference. Not very exciting!
Hippos are much better: herd, pod, school, and… bloat.

Wow, that’s high praise for what is actually quite a poor joke. Thanks John 🙂

With a name like Dazzle I would expect some show tunes and flashy lights.
