Gemsbok calf.

[TStone]

The gemsbok cows on the reserve have started calving. This little guy is probably about a week old.

Very nice picture of mum and babe. You can however see that the pregnancy has had a big effect on her condition. Have you had some rain recently?

Cool pic, scored points with the wife for the cuteness factor

Any other pics of the cow's horns from a different angle? Almost looks as if they cross, but it could just be the specific angle. I know cows often have skew / unsymmetrical horns.

@ driepootx. We've had 25mm to 40mm of rain during the week.
@ Pirate. It is just the angle, the horns do not cross. They are a bit skew but, as you said, that is not unusual with gemsbok and eland cows.

Thanks for sharing the excellent pic TStone.

Great pic, thank you. Not something you see every day...
