The reigns of power & alpha male status in chimpanzees communities is always in a constant prospect of change whenever juveniles and adolescents reach their prime time, turning into ferocious warriors with unmatched lust for power. No one understands the strength of the uprising youth more than Primus. Despite his wisdom in managing chimpanzees politics, spectacular power & ultimate fighting abilities that made him a force to be reckoned with. The younger males still caught up with him, forcing him to resign after holding his turf since 2012 to 2019. Primus might have lost his alpha male status after the takeover but he has not lost his dominant presence. He might not be the notorious warrior he once was yet he makes up for it in his wisdom and knowing when to pick his battles. He is still one among the higher ranked males in the Mimikire group coalition. Photo taken in Mahale National Park by Edger Edward Msyani

Scavengers play a significant role as environmentalists, normally they feed on remaining carrion after predators pass, but not hyenas who are their competitors. Life in the bush is not easy, but everyone has a role to play. Photo taken in Ndutu Conservation Area by Hans Cosmas Ngoteya

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is the largest fish on this planet, measuring up to nearly 19 m for the largest specimen. Found mainly in the tropics, these benevolent beasts, although they look like they could have been the fish that swallowed Jonah, prefer to eat mostly tiny plankton that they filter feed from the water. These sharks are listed as vulnerable because of their demand on the Asian fish market as the ‘tofu shark’, a moniker given to them because of their soft white meat. Their resident populations are protected in Mafia Island, Tanzania, by the Mafia Island Marine Park which encompasses 822 km2 of marine habitat. The area is being submitted by the Blue Action Fund and WWF for a nomination as a UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve (MAB). The area is known internationally as a hotspot for marine life and one of the habitats supporting the highest marine biodiversity in East Africa and the West Indian Ocean.
