Animals from above, 從上面往下看動物

A Gemsbok herd in Namibia. Gemsbok are able to survive in even the harshest conditions thanks to an intricate network of blood vessels in the nose which cool down the blood supplied to the brain. (Photo: Michael Poliza/Caters News)

Elephants in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. This park is famous for being one of the best places in Africa to get close to free-ranging elephants. Other attractions include opportunities to meet Maasai, and spectacular views of Kilimanjaro, when it is not covered by clouds. (Photo: Michael Poliza/Caters News)

Flamingos flying over Lake Turkana, Kenya. Flamingos are a common sight at Ferguson Gulf on the lakes western shore, but they rarely congregate in such numbers. Local fisherman once netted the bulk of their catch here, but the water level has dropped drastically, leaving many of the gulfs channels dry. (Photo: Michael Poliza/Caters News)

Flamingos on Lake Bogoria. Tiny shrimp are a flamingos favorite food. The birds filter them from the water much like baleen whales do. Shrimp contain carotene, which builds up in the flamingos plumage and gives it its characteristic pink color. Without this special diet, flamingos remain white. (Photo: Michael Poliza/Caters News)

A cattle market in the northeastern Masai Mara. Even from the air, you can clearly see two unmistakable signs of the Maasai: they always wear something red, and their lives revolve around the animals that are their most important food source. The Maasai live primarily from cattle meat and milk, and drinking cows blood is part of various Maasai ceremonies. (Photo: Michael Poliza/Caters News)
