Happy Boxing Day! So it is known in some parts of the world.
So I thought it appropriate to show this clip that I filmed yesterday, of these Nyala bulls sparring. In slow motion they displayed their prowess around each other. Coming together almost to confront one another and moving past in slow motion with every muscle in their body tense. But this day they were evenly challenged and neither took the fight any further with no punches being thrown. They parted company amicably, both respecting each other.

Technicoloured clouds.
We had a great Christmas day just relaxing with the girls and then later with friends. And ended with a late afternoon walk in the hills.

    Thank you for your wonderful videos. They are refreshingly real and wild when compared to the barrage of infotainment that is being passed off as animal documentaries. Thank you for the sights and sounds of true Africa and for keeping the camera rolling even when things get a bit grisly. These shorts that you are producing almost daily mean quite much for those of us who truly love wildlife, particularly African wildlife and who just want to see true nature in all it’s splendor. Please do not change a thing.

    Kim,

    Wow! Just superb! Had never really noticed their bushy tails before, how elegant the posing. Can’t think of any of North America’s animals strutting a one on one challenge, unless it is the big horn sheep. But they have nothing on the nyala for elegant posturing.

    Thanks,
    b.

    How beautiful, you don’t see that much in the mammal family mostly birds are so elegant. It was a beautiful ballet of muscel and control. Thank you for sharing that one with us.
