This adult Impala ram was followed quite dutifully by his much younger companions, who seemed to hang on his every word like real celebrity groupies would. Seen in September near Crocodile Bridge in the Kruger National Park.

Like Joubert learning from you… they are also learning from the best! 😉
Ah, thanks AJ. I have a few photos of me and Joubert pointing lenses in the same direction, and those photos are little treasures to me.
They are a fine looking bunch.
I bet when a lion looks at them all he thinks is “tasty!” 😀
I think that ultimately it would be a terrifying experience to have a lion look at you ‘that way’ 😳
Having a lion look at you and turning up his nose is even worse! 😀
hahahaha!! That seems to be a talent of cats both big and small!! I get treated to that disdainful look from my cat on a regular basis 😏
Yes, he has status!
And I think he knew it too, Liz!
The youngsters really do look proud to be followers basking in the reflected glory 🙂
They honestly were like his shadows!
Very endearing (more so than human groupies :))
Definitely, thanks Carol!
Sjoe dis ‘n mooi foto!
Baie dankie, Tina!
Such graceful creatures. Nice shot!
Thank you, Siobhan!
Where’s his bodyguard? >grin<
Great question, John – there were several other large males a little further around him, just out of shot!
A wonderful capture Dries! 🙂👏
Thank you, Xenia!
Great post 😁
Thanks!
A perfect caption to a perfect picture.
Thank you, Anne!
they are so very beautiful.
They’re quite graceful antelope, Gavin, but are often overlooked because they are so plentiful.
You have a winner photo there! Good job, D. 🙂
Thanks a lot, H.J!
Impala groupies. ☺️😅
They definitely acted that way, Sylvia!
Mooi man. Hy geniet dit om al die nooiens om hom te hê. Sal n mooi skildery maak.
Baie dankie, Ineke. Inderwaarheid is dit drie jaar-oud rammetjies wat hom soos stertjies agtervolg het!
Oeps , ek het nie teruggeblaai om te kyk of die manlik of vroulik is nie.
Daai horinkies is nog baie kort en maklik om mis te kyk!
Ja dis hoekom dit soos ooie lyk.
