Looking through some old negatives - Waterbuck kid in Hagenbeck Zoo...


...and my previous 6 pictures, including the wet tiger kids, the Bongo
kids, the lynx and the wildkitten, are finally up on my web site.

This picture was scanned from a negative taken years ago in Hagenbeck
Zoo, Hamburg (Germany). The animal, by the way, was just about one fifth
of the whole shot, so I tried to make it a real close-up by doing more
than the usual cropping.

See ya -

Ralf

=========
The waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope found widely in sub-Saharan Africa. Kobus ellipsiprymnus is placed in the family Bovidae. In this sexually dimorphic antelope, male waterbucks are taller and heavier than females. The long, spiral horns, present only on males, curve backward, then forward. Kobus ellipsiprymnus acquired the vernacular name "waterbuck" due to its heavy dependence on water as compared to other antelopes and its ability to enter into water for defence.
Order: Artiodactyla > Family: Bovidae > Genus: Kobus > Species: Kobus ellipsiprymnus
