Sometimes, I get to see funny siblings in wildlife. Here are some rare captures...
“I grew up with six brothers. That’s how I learned to dance – waiting for the bathroom.” – Bob Hope
😀 That is funny isn't it? However, it is true that we learn a lot of life skills from our siblings. These mongoose kids seem to be in a battle mode but actually it is just a practice fight and they are just messing with each other.
Band of brothers - mock fight mode
While the kids continued to prance around and fake their attacks at each other, having a gala time, Mom Mongoose waited in the middle of the road, exasperated after attempting to get the kids across the road...
The exasperated mom!
When it comes to seeing siblings in the wild, who can forget the zebras ... posing like twin brothers. Perhaps they really are twins ? Or may be not - difficult to tell!
Can you tell us apart?
You think we only get to see brothers sticking together in the wild? How about 7 sisters sticking together (almost literally!). I found this bunch of Green bee-eaters huddled together on a foggy winter morning...
7 sisters
Speaking of birds, we often see pairs of male and female birds hanging together. However, it is rare to see a pair of brothers hanging together. I found these Tri-colored munias constantly hanging together. Though they were part of a flock, they always were together.
Birds of a feather?😀
Last but not the least, these two black buck young brothers were so inseparable that sometimes they seemed to be two heads on one body!
United at birth?
I hope you enjoyed the pictures of bands of brothers and sisters in the wild..
Please comment freely and let me know your opinion. I will try to bring many different types of wildlife photos/macro/Astro posts to the community. Feedback and comments are welcome,. I am still learning many techniques and always value feedback from experts in this community.
Have a nice day everyone. Cheers!
