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.

Congratulations to this month's lucky reader, Christopher McClean, who voted for #4 Eagle Owl.

‘I agree with many of the people who voted that this was one of my more engaging pieces,’ says Noel. ‘Of course making an eagle owl engaging is not an impossible challenge as these birds, with their piercing eyes and distinctive faces, really are extraordinary. Thanks to Mike Lane of the Giclée Printshop for sponsoring the print.’
