Northern black korhaan. Screaming.
Location approximate to northern CKGR.
I love this shot--it looks like the wind is so strong that it's blowing this gemsbok's horns sideways. It's not uncommon to see a gemsbok without perfectly straight horns (particularly on game farms), but this one's horn deformity was fairly strong.

Unfortunately, I don't have an in-flight photo with the tail feathers visible.

I love this shot because it's difficult to understand what's going on. The gemsbok is part of a much larger herd. The jackal is part of a pair, but is laying down. The korhaan (maybe a red-crested?) is presumably keeping an eye on the jackal, but the gemsbok seems totally non-plussed. It's not quite Isaiah 11:6, but it's getting there.

Two caracals interacting. Saw caracal ~5x times on this trip (one per day).
