- A female Gemsbok flirting with a male in the Kalagadigadi Transfrontier Park
-
- These two Gemsbok were sparing close to a waterhole in Etosha.
-
- Despite what looks to be aggressive behaviour between these two Gemsbok, this was just a sparing session.
-
- Always trying to get an edge when sparing. These two Gemsbok were just mock-fighting around a waterhole in Etosha.
-
- Sometimes the best way to get an advantage with such long horns is to get low and thrust your horns upward.
-
- The one Gembok speared his opponent in the shoulder drawing blood. It was jus a sparing as there were no females around.
-
- The sparing can look quite dramatic at times. Neither animal got badly hurt. Waterholes in Etosha always yield interesting wildlife interactions.
-
- The male Gemsbok looks wary of the amorous female, especially as she has some serious weapons. An interesting interaction in the Kalagadigadi Transfrontier Park.
-
- Scratching an itch requires a delicate touch. Gemsbok, like Sable Antelope, are very aware of their horns and their dimensions.
