Seeing an ecosystem at work was an enlightening part of my safari experience in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. From the trees, bushes, and grasses that provide cover for prey and predator alike, as well as food for a variety of species foraging at different heights, to animals, their remains, and insects whose livelihood support each other, I witnessed so many interactions it is difficult to harness it all in a short article. I’ll give it a whirl, though. Fully illustrated with stunning still and video photography.
