Leaping Kudu

A young male Kudu jumps a small water course, accompanied by fleeing Red-billed Ox-peckers, I love how the warthog below seems oblivious to it all.

Hold tight son!

Early morning and a Mum and baby Chacma Baboon successfully negotiate a stream crossing in the Moremi GR- Botswana.
Most baboons hate even getting their feet wet, but in the delta, water is part and parcel of everyday life.
They will of course always find a way to leap across wherever possible, for fear of crocs!
