Description Young zebra, Makakatana.

Best of the RestI'm having to draw my adventures through KwaZulu Natal to a close for the time being, as I prepare for another trip to Victoria, Australia, where I hope to look up my old pal Digger the Koala. I thought I'd finish this South African trip by presenting some of the other animals and birds that I encountered. Hopefully, having seen the cheetah, the hippos, the rhinos, the cranes and all the other shots, you will still find some interest in these.
Animals
The first of the set is this little fellow - a suni ==> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suni. This is a tiny species of antelope (not more than 18 inches), quite rare and very shy, found more in well wooded areas rather than the open bush. We encountered this one and a couple of others at Phinda Vlei one evening. Despite the size and the "bambi" look these suni antelope are very territorial and defend their territories by fighting with those sharp horns. 
Sticking with aggressive behaviour, there is

Pretty animals, zebras. ! Already he looks like he can fend just fine for himself; he looks strong, alert, and like he is fast.

Zebras do fall prey to the big cats - no doubt about it, but they can defend themselves if in a group by kicking with those back legs - a blow to the head can be fatal.

Many thanks, Linda.

Oh yes, any kind of kick from a type of horse (or any big animal) I'd not want to be the recipient of! lol
