Still working through the Kwetsani camp shots and our lion, whom we’ve been following across the floodplain for a couple of blog entries now, encounters a herd of red lechwe. The red lechwe is a species of antelope that has adapted superbly to the flood plain conditions. Completely at home in the semi-aquatic environment with a greasy coat that sheds water and large hooves for running over swampy ground, the lechwe maintain a distance from which, in the conditions, they can easily avoid the lone lion.
