Thank you Janet!
Those poor waterbuck. Evidence that Mother Nature has a sense of humour 😉
Most definitely Joanne!
Do you know what the circles are for or how they came to be? ☺
I suppose it serves to keep the herd together when they flee from predators, Maciek, much as the white on the underside of deer’s tails do.
It’s incredible how nature creates those mechanisms!
Most certainly!
Circles indeed! 😀
