The Gemsbok is a proud and majestic looking animal well adapted to surviving in arid regions like the Kalahari. In times of drought I have seen them quench their thirst with tsama melons and sometimes wild cucumbers. They do drink when water is available, but unlike Wildebeest they are rather shy when approaching water holes and take a long time to look around to ensure there are no predators.
Here is one beautiful male with an awesome pair of horns. Almost FF, processed in LR and PSCC. Techs as follows:
Nikon D4
Nikon 300mm F2.8
ISO 1000
F10
1/3200s
Hope you all have a great rest of the week, many thanks for viewing and for your kind comments on my previous images
