Beautiful Nyala female.



While walking on a friend's cattle ranch not far away from my house, I came across a small herd of Nyalas (3 or 4). At first I was a bit stunned because I did not expect to see such game on that farm. But then I quickly got my cell and snapped this pic. Unfortunately the big Nyala bull was already out of view. Only the one young female hesitated for a second or so before she too disappeared into the bushes. Fortunately I had just enough time to take the picture. At first, the owner of the farm did not belive me when I toled him about the encounter. Only after seeing the picture and figuring out where exactly it was taken, he accepted the fact :-)
