EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment between a two-week-old Eastern Bongo calf and her mother at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. The delicate calf takes confident steps beside her protective mother, showcasing the beauty of this critically endangered species. With only 75 remaining in small groups of 6 to 12 animals in their Kenyan upland range, every sighting of these majestic creatures is precious. Eastern Bongos, also known as Highlands Bongos, are one of the largest species of antelope in the world. Their striking russet color and magnificent antlers that extend over their backs make them easily recognizable and truly awe-inspiring. This image serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within Australia's wildlife. Photographer William West skillfully captures this intimate moment, allowing us to witness the bond between mother and calf firsthand. The tenderness displayed by both animals evokes feelings of warmth and protection. As we admire this photograph, let it serve as a call to action for conservation efforts aimed at preserving these remarkable creatures' natural habitat. Through awareness and collective action, we can help ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to marvel at the beauty and grace exemplified by this Eastern Bongo family.
