Kenya, Tsavo East National Park, Buchuma. An Hirola or Hunter's hartebeest (Beatragus hunteri) keeps watch from a termite mound in the scrubland of Kenya's Tsavo East National Park. This antelope is classified by IUCN as Threatened but it more likely to be in danger of imminent extinction due to the long drawn-out troubles in war-torn Somalia, which was its principal habitat. The Hirola in Tsavo were trans-located from the Kenya-Somali border some years ago and seem to be holding their own.
