~ As I've noted elsewhere, we joke that Anthony has ‘leopard eyes’ for his uncanny ability to spot leopards in the most visually tangled and abstract settings. Perhaps I have ‘kudu eyes’ as on most safaris kudu stand out to me even when nearly obscured by vegetation. Such was the case when I noticed three female Tragelaphus imberbis, Lesser Kudu, a ways off the track behind bushes. I mentioned them to Anthony as they broke into a quick trot away from us. Anthony shrewdly pulled the van forward to where they might be observed. He was right! They were motionless, gazing at us long enough for a photograph before heading out of sight. We always stop for kudu.
