~ Throughout Meru National Park waterbuck were observed, generally in small groups. At midday we passed several waterbuck standing in shallow pools — puddles, actually — calm and unhurried, despite our presence. I wondered how midday heat affects them, as their pelage is fairly dense. Both female and male waterbuck appeal to me, for their solidity of form and their subdued temperament.
