Two Week-old Eastern Bongo Calf and Mother
A two week-old Eastern Bongo calf walks beside her mother at Sydneys Taronga Zoo. Eastern (or Highlands) Bongos are critically endangered with as few as 75 remaining in small groups of 6 to 12 animals in their Kenyan upland range. Bongo are one of the largest species of antelope in the world and are recognised by their striking russet colour and large antlers which extend over their backs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by William West, we are presented with a tender moment between a two-week-old Eastern Bongo calf and her mother at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. The fragility of their existence is evident as we learn that these magnificent creatures are critically endangered, with only 75 remaining in small groups within their Kenyan upland range. The image showcases the striking russet color of the Bongos, which sets them apart from other antelope species. Their large antlers gracefully extend over their backs, adding to their majestic appearance. As one of the largest species of antelope in the world, they command attention and admiration. This touching scene reminds us of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these beautiful animals from extinction. It serves as a poignant reminder that every individual effort counts towards preserving our planet's biodiversity. William West's skillful capture allows us to witness the bond between mother and calf firsthand. We can almost feel the tenderness and care emanating from both animals as they navigate through life together. Let this photograph serve as an inspiration for all who view it – a call to action to safeguard our natural heritage for future generations so that moments like these can continue to exist beyond mere memories or photographs.
