Hunters Hartebeest, Gladys Porter Zoo Brownsville

I've made more shots of this animal, but it was not easy, because the Hirola was extremly disturbed in its behaviour and has attacked me or the fence all the time...


She had lived alone for a long time in a tiny, very old and bad " cage".

In the Zoo, they called the Hunters Hartebeest "the crazy antelope", and as I saw it, I knew why....
 
Yeah, thats right, and this species is highly endangerd in the wild. I think, less than 500 animals left in the wild.
 
It's actually less than 400 and they're restricted to 2 National Parks in Kenya.
 
I hope that efforts to preserve the habitat and in captivity will also
