The short rains in Kenya also herald the onset of the impala rutting season. These are competing males — the one giving chase is defending his territory and right to mate.
Man, talk about angular momentum! These guys are behaving like motorcycles on a speed track. Must be an adaptation for escaping lions and leopards. Don’t suppose it works against cheetahs so much. You got the decisive moment here, Sean. Great catch. Love the selective focus, too. And then there is the miraculous matching of the horn and the tail stripe to marvel.
Thanks Michael,
These guys did two passes and on the first, all the shots seemed to clip the tip of the horns. Nice to have a second chance to get it right.
