Summary

[edit]
Description

A common animal in the ever shrinking grasslands of the state. This one is a female and they were basking in the sun for much of the hot day. Since it was a protected area, there is no predator that could hunt them - except of course people. In other areas, they are targeted for their meat. I believe something similar could be happening in the grassland once they cross the imaginary boundaries which the animals don't understand.

The place had a pretty large herd of maybe 200-300 of them. A pattern we saw is that one male would have a large number of females in its protection along with a couple of other younger males too. When the younger males get cocky (literally!!), a quick battle decides the winner. I was able to capture some of the action and was happy that the battle was a quick painless affair.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
