Dan and Nick The Wildebeest Years was a BBC Radio 4 comedy series originally broadcast in seven episodes in 1998. The Dan and Nick of the title are Dan Freedman and Nick Romero , who often appeared on Loose Ends radio Loose Ends . A follow up series of a further six episodes was made, this time called Forty Nights in the Wildebeest . Both series have been re broadcast on BBC 7 during 2006 and 2007. The characteristic feature of Dan and Nick s style is the heavy use of pun s. Indeed, the frequency of puns incorporated into these programmes has rarely been matched since I m Sorry I ll Read That Again . Themes The shows premise centred around short sketches and songs performed in a cabaret style. Dan and Nick had a supporting band, The Gents who would accompany them on musical sections. Typical sketches included lampooning films, music, and other popular culture . The Britishness of the show was reflected in the interest in subjects such as the royal family, and BBC Radio 4 Radio 4 , the station on which it was broadcast, with a fascination for characters such as Brian Perkins . And the program itself owes much to forerunners of the radio comedy genre, such as Round the Horne , I m Sorry I Haven t a Clue , and The Navy Lark . Other shows since, such as Dead Ringers comedy Dead Ringers could also be said to have been influenced by it. Some recurring jokes were Incy Wincy Quincy, a spider pathology pathologist , obviously lifted from TV show Quincy, M.E. , Tossed in Space, a satire of Lost in Space about trapped salad items in space, Censorship gags, for example, reading football scores while bleeping out any innocuous sounding words, including from the middle of words, and The Annals of History and The Century s Passage, a humorous and satirical look back through historic events ... theme Forty Nights in the Wildebeest Forty Nights in the Wildebeest was the name of a follow ... format to The Wildebeest Years a quick fire mixture of pun laden short sketches and musical ... more details

Gweta is a small village in Botswana . It lies about convert 205 km mi away from Maun and about convert 100 km mi from Nata, Botswana Nata . Generally considered the gateway to the Makgadikgadi Pans Gweta derived its name from the sound of croaking bullfrogs which bury themselves in the sand until the rainy season arrives and they emerge to mate. The huge expanse of the Makgadikgadi Pans is bigger than Switzerland. Once a large river fed lake, the Makgadikgadi Pans now lie saline and empty. The pans are littered with stone tools and artefacts dated from between 2,000 to 500,000 years old During the wet season 35 75,000 zebra and wildebeest migrate into the area with regular sightings of lion, cheetah and other predators who follow in their wake. The zebra and wildebeest migration across the pans is southern Africa s last surviving zebra and wildebeest migration and the second largest in the world. Hundreds of thousands of flamingo also appear to feed as long as the water lasts. The pans are also a permanent haven for desert species such as the meerkat and the elusive brown hyaena, the third rarest carnivore in the world. In the area around Gweta are national monuments in the form of baobabs , which are not actually trees but the largest succulents in the world. Greens Baobab, 27kms south of Gweta was inscribed by the 19th century hunters and traders Joseph Green and Hendrik Matthys van Zyl as well as other ruthless characters. About 11km further south of Green s Baobab is the turn off to the far more impressive Chapman s Baobab, which has a circumference of 25m and was historically used as a navigation beacon. It was also used as an early post office by passing explorers, traders and travellers, many of whom left inscriptions on its trunk. coord 20 11 S 25 14 E display title region BW type city source GNS enwiki Botswana largest cities Botswana geo stub Category Villages in Botswana tn Gweta ... more details

He obtained his doctorate in the early 1960s with a thesis on the wildebeest of the Ngorongoro Crater , in which he advanced the theory that the females estrus was triggered by the rumbling love call of the males. Estes has spent most of the ensuing 40 years doing field work in Africa. In 2004 he began a project in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution to test his early theory using new advances in molecular chemistry .

The term superprecocial refers to a level of physical maturity and capability in young animals that is most extreme. Examples are the Megapode birds, which have full flight feathers and which, in some species, can fly on the same day they hatch from their eggs. Another example is the young of Blue Wildebeest which are capable of standing in seven minutes and run with the adults in under two hours. Superprecocial animals are even more capable than precocial animals. The opposite pattern of growth and development is called altricial , and is typified by birds that hatch blind, uncoordinated, featherless, and tiny. ref name Starck&Ricklefs98 Starck, J.M.
