| Lots of predator photos until now, so here is one from the prey category. Red Lechwe (pronounced leechee) is an antelope found in the Okavango Delta as this species is specially adapted for marshes and swampy areas with knee-deep water. They feed on the plants growing in water, which also acts as a protection from predators. The lechwe has a water repelling substance on its legs, enabling it to run at high speeds in water where many predators cannot maintain the same speed that they can on land. These small herd probably sensed something we couldnt see and took off all of a sudden. |
