More Eland
This is another record shot of an eland antelope (Tragelaphus orxy) missing its tail tufts. Notice the happy ox pecker on the back of the antelope. The photographer recalls seeing eland (and sable antelope, for that matter) in the Chimanimani range of mountains during his youth. This eland, which is still widespread and reasonable common in Zimbabwe was captured on camera in the Mana Pools National Park
(Canon 50D; f/5.6; 1/250sec; ISO-100; 250mm)
