Up high!

I am currently exploring the Drakensberg Mountains area. Today, I walked from the Giants Castle Resort to some caves with prehistoric San rock paintings. I enjoyed the one-hour hike to get there, even if some of the track was a bit challenging.

On the way, I took a few pictures of some Common Elands. This largest living antelope species in Southern Africa likes higher altitudes.

Adult females (as in this picture) usually weigh around 400kg (~990lbs), whereas males can get up to 900kg (~1980lbs).

I saw four cows today, but only this one stood still long enough for me to get a good picture.
