Young Topi

Gallery: WildlifePosted August 5, 201379 views2 comments

Virtually all youngsters of the larger antelopes are born without any distinctive markings nearly all are light brown.

This young Topi will develop very a distinct and surprisingly colourful
coat later in life.

Taken on Ishasha Plains in Queen Elisabeth National Park, Uganda.

Ken, I really like the dof isolating the Topi amongst the foliage here. Seems as though we're peeking in and around the foliage to catch a view of it.
