Springbok
Continuing on from yesterdays post.. some adults.. also all taken in the Kalagadi Gemsbok Park.. a place everyone should visit if they can…
Above, the female, apart from the obvious udder look at her horns much thinner than the male below;
what beautiful pictures Bulldog!, and of course the animals are gorgeous!
Your photos reminded me of a recent television programme shown on UK tv, which featured Best of Africa by David Attenborough. Check out this brief clip of springbok dancing to Tchaikovsky:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-_JTh_ctrk
Very beautiful 🙂
Thank you..
Absolutely gorgeous creatures! 😀
thanks Dianne.. I do agree
the little fella is so adorable. Such beautiful creatures. I love their eyes. That is quite a difference between the female and male horn. Thanks for pointing that out. I need to get back to Africa. Ever since I’ve been there I’ve wanted to go back.
A wonderful place to be… I have so many special places here, that it is difficult to think of visiting overseas…
Wow! I love number five! Just beautiful, and the last one is just stunning!!
Thank you… I took so many of this herd it was actually difficult deciding which to share…
So pretty! Their legs seem to make an unusual shape while running.
That was a capture of the “Pronk” a stiff legged trot almost, followed by the little stiff legged jumps that I just seem to struggle to capture…
They are such beautiful animals bulldog. Love the photo’s and thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day! 🙂
Thanks Sonel..
Just stunning shots Bulldog! Those Boks are just so beautiful – I love the marking on their faces.
The painted face is something I enjoy.. thank you..
Beautiful animals. You got some nice photos of them.
Thanks Anneli… took so many yet struggled to decide which to post…
They’re all beautiful, but that last one….like a work of art!!!!
Thanks Suzanne… there were bigger herds, but at midday when they rest in what little shade there is, it is difficult to get a decent photo…
Such beautiful markings on their coats. As always you did a fabulous job telling the story.
Thank you PC.. love your comment..
Apart from being thinner, think that the female’s face looks softer than that of the male..nice photos. Thank you for sharing
Thank you nightlake.. the females do look typically female almost a less harsh version…
So beautiful. They are such gorgeous animals.
Thank you Maralee..
they are so beautiful, I love their facial markings – they look like painted faces!
Thank you Diana… they do look painted on…
such a beautiful animal and great shots as always. Do you have to travel far from home to see them?
I can see them in a park that is no more than 5 km. from our house… but these were taken in the Kalahari where they are in more natural surroundings.. and in far bigger herds, anything up to a 1000
They are such beautiful creatures. They do have really large ears.
Thank you Charlie… one of our national treasures…
So elegant Bulldog – delightful! 🙂
Thank you Ruth a lovely animal to study…
