We came across this apparently sic Blesbuck in the Rietvlei nature reserve. Living in a reserve with almost no predators has its benefits. But it also has its harsh side. In a reserve with predators sick or slow antelope tend to be the first to be taken out. It must be hard to be taken by a predator but it must be quicker than just lying there waiting for death. It barely managed to lift its head when we approach. A hard way to go.
