Blue Wildebeest stopping for a photo....

            This Wildebeest was part of a single file herd that passed in front of me. Apparently the idea of a photoshoot appealed to it as it stopped and turned its head to stare at me, before disappearing into the bush.

The blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), also called the common wildebeest, white-bearded gnu or brindled gnu, is a large antelope.
