Being watched by a Topi…

2023 | Digital Photograph

The Topi is a firm favourite of mine amongst the many antelope found in Akagera National Park. Often seen grazing in mixed herds across the park, one behaviour that sets them apart is when grazing one member of the herd will be a sentinel, often standing on top of a termite mound so it can see further. This male paused his grazing, looked up and watched me as I stopped the car to create this portrait.
