Messy vulture nest on top of a tree
A vulture nest looks pretty much like a pile small branches on top of a tree. Not the most esthetical or pretty, but probably fits the needs for a pair of vultures.

Big herd of hippos in the Mara river.
The hippos normally only graze at night, in the daytime they rest or frolic in the water to cool their massive trunks. Sometimes the hippo pools smells rather nasty from all the hippo excrements, it looks like they don’t mind at all.

Three female lions on the prowl
“Early morning on the grasslands, three hungry lions prowl their territory. The air is still cool, and the time has come to hunt. They search for young, vulnerable herbivores—easy prey for a coordinated attack. Typically, these victims are inexperienced, slower, or confused animals that haven’t yet learned to recognize the threat of an approaching pride.”
