Pretty soon, they start a family.
Actually, he's a better parent than she is.
And on a hot afternoon, she will join
the rest of the gang at the water hole...
...leaving him to keep an eye on the nest.
This is a full-time job,
because each egg is a whole meal...
...and there are many freeloaders
in the Namib.
Hmm, let's see... one, two, three,five,seven, eight, eleven, twenty
What the... !?!?
Meanwhile, back at the nest...
...
young Oscar chooses
this moment to get born.
There's no one to welcome him
because Mother is out swimming...
...and Father is out fighting Hottentots.
Oscar feels very lonely,
so he wobbles off to find company.
He is now only two minutes old,
but already he knows about camouflage.
