Dangerous Creatures: African Waterhole

   When everyone eats in the same place, it’s just as well that they don’t eat the same thing!
   Waterholes can be fun. But it’s advisable to have a healthy respect for the bigger users.
   Not everyone goes to a waterhole just to get a drink.
   Everybody enjoys a good mud bath from time to time. Don’t you?
   Enjoy yourself at a waterhole. But don’t forget there’s danger there, too.
   Sometimes, when the food supply is low, you have to move on. But moving is not always an easy thing.
   Video: African grasslands, dotted with acacia trees, are home to an amazing variety of wildlife.
   Advice: Africa is one of the most marvellous places on Earth for wildlife. You can see animals for every letter of the alphabet here, from aardvarks to zebras.

Next: Both predators and prey come to the waterhole. You might see a python lying in wait on the shore.
