    One of my many reasons for visiting Hwange, is that there are some Roan there.

    Roan are notorious for running away and never allowing you to get close, their behaviour can best be described as "strange"

    Very interesting looking creature, Ken. You have gorgeous light and you framed him nicely.

    I'm green about this. Great light, great angle.
    My nemesis species! Saw them in August in northern Kruger for the first time but VERY far away...

    Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

    Roan are great beauties, and for me at least the search for great images will continue, still to get most of the Duilers a decent Oribi and many more, its fun though.


    Morkel,

    They are certainly not easy to find we sat at another waterhole for 2 hours watching them approach but they seemed to be scared of the Elephant, their behaviour os ODD

    True, you don't often see these, especially as beautifully captured. Nice clean image.
