Eland antelope
Numéro d’image : 14112641
| Eland (Taurotragus oryx) antelope at dawn. Eland are adapted to living independently of water supplies. They do not have to drink regularly (although they do where water is readily available) but rather get the moisture they need from the food they eat or from other simple water conservation techniques. They feed during the day but also at night when the moisture content of foliage is higher. Eland produce very concentrated urine and dry faecal pellets so as not to discard moisture unnecessarily. They will stand in the shade on very hot days and have the ability to allow their body temperature to rise by a few degrees dissipating the heat after dark when it s cooler. Eland also breathe deeply and slowly to conserve the moisture in their nasal passages. Photographed in the dry Nossob riverbed of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Southern Africa, in a year when the region had received very little rainfall and the vegetation was sparse. | |
