HUNTING IN THE SOTIK

Wildebeest at home 
Two bulls may suddenly drop to their knees and for a moment or two fight furiously 
From photographs by Kermit Roosevelt 
While running one of these cheetahs Kermit put up 
two old wildebeest bulls, and they joined in the procession, 
looking as if they too were pursuing the cheetah; the 
cheetah ran first, the two bulls, bounding and switching 
their tails, came next, and Kermit, racing in the rear, gained 
steadily. Wildebeest are the oddest in nature and conduct, 
and in many ways the most interesting, of all antelope.
