A herd of male springboks in the Kalahari region of South Africa
To celebrate World Wildlife Day, we offer this image of a herd of springboks, a deer-like animal native to eastern and southern savannahs in Africa. This is an all-male ‘bachelor’ herd. The bachelor males team up like this only during mating season. They’ll roam in search of mates, but face fierce competition from males with offspring that belong to harem herds.
