When a springbok pronks like this, it is warning would-be predators not to bother — that it is healthy and not worth the effort to try and catch. I suppose it works sometimes, not others. I photographed this springbok early in the morning in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve of Botswana.

with a title like this, I just had to come see what pronking and a springbok are, lol :O) Great shot!!
….and saw it again in the afternoon, and it was dead. Right? Sorry, just kidding.
