Bohor reedbuck in a life or death moment
This situation will forever be etched into my memory. This poor reedbuck in the Serengeti has sensed the presence of cheetahs nearby. Yet it finds itself in an area with low grass. The cheetahs are too close for the reedbuck to make a run for it, it would give up the reedbuck's position and mean certain death given a cheetah's speed. So all it can do is get as low as possible and await life or death whilst heavily shivering from fear.
Luckily, the two cheetahs were too busy with themselves to notice the reedbuck, or perhaps the wind was in the right direction.
