Description

These antelope are prey to almost all large predators. Luckily there are lots of them. LOL. If you visit the Kruger Park and don't see one of these - I'll eat my hat! They can jump distances of 9m (30 feet). They are both grazers and browsers. I photographed this one near the Punda Maria camp (northern Kruger park). It is still dry there at the moment. The Limpopo river isn't flowing either. Hopefully the rains start soon. Enjoy it!

Great contrasts in colour, excellent detail and DOF. They are not easy to photograph despite ones expectations. They don't hold still for a second, and if they do it is not in the pose you have ordered, LOL! Great close up, well good tele lens.
