My Leg

Masai Mara, Kenya view map

When I saw this wildebeest with his leg hurt,
I was afraid that he would very soon become other wildlife's prey.

He still looks strong and for sure fighting in the rough world he lives in.

I'm sure it is what will happen, and yet, it is the life's cycle of that beautiful paradise.
Your images of that sfari are so beautiful ... and this one catches one important aspect of that wildlife.
