A young Bontebok, enjoys the first days of Spring in De Hoop Nature Reserve, Western Cape.
The Bontebok is a fine example of conservation, at one time in the 1930's it was estimated to have a population of around 33 individuals, it was saved by local farmers and Sanparks, now there are around 2,000.

Dancing in the flowers. The exuberance of young wild animals is sure a lot of fun to watch and this image shows that exuberance off very well.
