7. Wildebeest Beauty

Michael,
I had such a laugh at this blogpost. Yes, everybody comes home with 'bum-shots'. But my favorite has always been the zebra's. (And I will not explaiin why!!)
Cheers my friend, well done.
It's close between the rhino and zebra, but I'll give the rhino the final count. They probably don't win very many beauty contests
All cute and funny in their own way, but the "Best Bum" award has to go to the beautiful Waterbuck! No contest!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face with this article
Thanks Christine, glad I put a smile on your face!
Hope this will be the case from now on lol…
Can i post one?
My fav: waterbucks.
Best bum is by far the waterbuck!
They are all beautiful, but I’d have to say my favorite is the Zebra. Great photos!
Thanks for all your comments so far everyone, I can see a clear favourite already…
Can the odds be turned around? Keep on commenting, we will soon find out…
Must admit mine is a little different: I just LOVE the impala bum!
Perhaps it's because of the M shape (my name is Michael…)?! And no, it has nothing to do with Mc Donalds!
Cheers
Zebra!
I think the Rhino has got the best shape
