White Rhinoceros

(Ceratotherium simum)

Dehorned rhino cow with calf. During the past few years rhino poaching increased dramatically in South Africa.

Park officials, resort to the only current available option, dehorning. (Is this the legacy we want our children to inherit?).

Soon we might not be able to admire these magnificent creations in their natural environment. But unfortunately greedy wealth driven individuals violently destroy our natural heritage.

Impala

(Aepyceros melampus)

South Africa

With so many Impala in Southern African wildlife sanctuaries one tends to start ignoring these wonderful antelope after the third or forth sighting. But these animals can provide outstanding photographic opportunities.

By observing their behaviour and taking full advantage of the opportunities presented, you will be able to produce outstanding images.

There is always the chance to produce images of the freeloaders accompanying the herds.

Don’t let your Impala collection only form part of the leopard gallery.
