Another one
This guy was chilling in some shade from a small bush in the mid day when we came upon him. We got really close, the size that close, we were in an open vehicle, is really impressive.

That's Omar, Winnie's brother (note the "eyelash" over his eyes which is the easiest way to tell the two apart).
Unfortunately the zoo announced a few days ago that Winnie was euthanised a few weeks ago due to a tumour in her jaw bone.
