It was a long uneventful safari without any sightings .On the drive back it was as usual, practically dark when this huge male crossed the road close in front of us and disappeared into the forest beyond .He is the only male in the sanctuary and is distinguished by a star on his forehead .There are about five females he is consorting with, which means there is a serious danger of inbreeding . I only had my long zoom lens and just managed to encompass his huge girth in the frame before he disappeared into the shrubbery .Nikon 850+200-500, FL 240 ,ISO 3200 ,F/7.1 ,1/400 . Feb 2020 .
