Herbivores

Crawshay's Zebra

Native to Zambia, they have thinner stripes than the plains zebra seen in East Africa. Really like the expression on the colt's face (and that amazing mohawk).

Pumbaa in Repose

I think these guys are under appreciated.

Striped Beauty

Bemused Bushbuck

I was as surprised to see her as she was me. Wonder if my expression was as funny?

Waterbuck

Not a lot of action here, but it's rare to see a (common) waterbuck so nicely out in the open and so relaxed. And I think they're very pretty.

Cliffside Cuteness

After getting over the surprise of spotting one of these elusive fellows, I was pleased to get several images before he scampered off.
