[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Impala is the most common antelope in the Kruger Park. As soon as the first rain falls, usually in late November, most of the adult females give birth (they can hold back on giving birth)and the park is full of young impalas. By giving birth en masse the survival of the vast majority is assured as the carnivores cannot possibly kill all of them.

Hi Mike,
The little antilope is very cute indeed.
Love the way you've captured it together with the female.
Wonderful pose, color tones and details.
Excellent work on sharpness and exposure, but a little to tigt cropped on bottom.
Would love to have seen whole of the legs of the little one in the frame.
Nevertheless a real joy to look at. TFS!!!

Best regards, Harry

Hello Mike,
Interesting photo and note.
Do they give birth in December and January as well? Strange to see a little impala:-)
Good content.
Both are in the depth of field.
