The kob is a national symbol in Uganda, appearing on the coat of arms opposite a crested crane, the national bird. Kobs, which occur throughout sub-Sahara Africa, resemble impala, but are beefier. The males have impressive horns, although this young male hadn’t quite developed his yet. He was relaxing in tall grass but kind of looked like he was burrowing in the ground.

great pic. great back ground, I like back ground and all the sourounding grasses.
Really wonderful. Like the previous commenter, i really like the most of this job is hidden by the high grass. Also that it’s looking directly at you.
—– High above wild grass
—– Soft sun gives to curving horn
—– A sweet patina.
I think he was just reaching for his camera so he could get a shot of you 🙂
You captured perfectly, his youth, almost totally hidden in the tall grasses.I love to see wildlife shots incorporated into landscape shots!
