Beverly Joubert

Two lions watch elephants spar in Botswana’s Okavango Delta in a previously unpublished photograph taken in October 2018. Beverly Joubert is one of the first wildlife photographers to capture such intimate portraits of wild African elephants.

Black mambas are actually brown in color. They get their name from the blue-black of the inside of their mouths, which they display when threatened.

Doves, lions, and elephants compete for space at a watering hole during the dry season in Chobe National Park, Botswana. Normally, elephants would avoid such proximity to lions, but as the March 2000 story stated, "water is more vital than caution."
