ask us!

Have you ever looked at a creature and thought, ‘Now why is it doing that?’ Or even, ‘What is it doing?’ Or ‘What is it?’ Perhaps you’ve heard a ‘tall tale’ about animal behaviour and would like to know whether it’s really true.

If you have a question and haven’t known whom to ask, just e-mail it to leni@africageographic.com

Each month Tim Jackson, our scientific editor,

answers the most interesting question sent in – and if it’s yours, you’ll win a pair of Lynx Series-18 8x32 binoculars worth R2 155!
With their high-grade, black leather covering, these small-bodied binoculars are ideal for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Their Bak4 porro-prism glass and multi-coated optics provide excellent image clarity.
