PhotoPOSTcard: Keeping an Eye on His Harem

A herd of Grant's gazelles in Lake Nakuru National Park

Last Updated on 10/14/20 by Rose Palmer

It’s the end of the day and a herd of impalas is grazing in a field on the edge of the woods in Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya.  The single male – you can identify him by his large curved horns – is keeping a close watch on his harem as well as looking out for predators or other, potentially threatening, males. It’s gotta be a tough job keeping that many females in line.

Thanks for visiting.
