Excellent image. Everything is spot on. I’ve tried to determine how many and think I can see 15??

14, I think. Hard to connect some of the bodies with heads, and not tall have both visible.

PS - 15, you’re right! My husband pointed out the almost-hidden far left one.

Very cool to get them all looking your way, Sandy. Usually someone has an ear pointed the other way. An excellent group shot.

Wonderful group portrait! This image makes me wonder, what caught their attention, were they alerted by some alarm call.
Not sure about lighting but I find the contrast slightly on higher side.

Jagdeep, WE caught their attention, driving up in the truck and stopping. :grin:
We found, with many animals, thst driving by didn’t bother them at all, but the econd we stopped they were curious and wary.
Same with raptors along the road here - flying by in the car doesn’t bug them at all, but the second we stop - or God forbid, back up along the shoulder - they spook.
We found the lighting tough in MOST of Africa.
