    One of the three Male coalition resident in Kwando concession, Northern Botswana. They have certainly become less camera shy in the past 4 years. This one is easily recognised by the scar on his chest.

    Ken - nice pov and head on view. I wish for a bit more room below and maybe a bit of NR on the bg.
