Looking through some old animal photos - Copenhagen Zoo again - female waterbuck

Hi again,

don't ask me why but during my stay in Copenhagen Zoo my favourite
camera objects were the waterbucks. Here is one of them; some more pics
of these to come.

Best wishes from Germany -

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
