A pair of sitatunga or marshbucks (antelope) graze in a wetland next to Lake Oguemoué, Gabon. The animals are hunted for their meat by locals and invariably flee as humans approach.

Marshbucks installation.
Don’t be fooled. What looks like a lovely postcard of father, mother and baby sitatungas in the first two photos … it’s NOT! … but it is also very nice … the sitatunga mom is pregnant and that night gave birth to a wonderful baby.
The alleged baby of the first two pictures, is nothing but another female sitatunga, a big girl who likes milk and steals it (or is allowed to steal it) from the mother-to-be because very she’s feeling uneasy with her udders filled with milk.
The last picture, is from the next day and there you can see the true family photo, with the newborn resting (detail in the next to last picture)
Instalación de sitatungas.
No os dejéis engañar. Lo que parece una preciosa postal de papa, mama y peque de sitatungas en las dos primeras fotos… NO lo es…aunque también es muy bonita…la mama sitatunga esta preñada y esa misma noche pario una estupenda cría.
La supuesta cría de las dos primeras fotos, no es mas que otra hembra de sitatunga ya mayorcita que le gusta la leche y se la roba o se la deja robar porque tiene la ubres muy molestas con la cantidad de leche.
La ultima foto, corresponde al día siguiente y ahí si podéis ver la autentica foto de familia, con la cría recién nacida descansando (detalle en la foto penúltima)
