They Will Soon Become Parents - II.




Antelopes choose a calm and relatively safe place for rest, but they do not allow themselves to relax completely, as coyotes may be nearby. On that warm, calm morning, thankfully, there were no coyotes around.

The young doe in the photo above is pregnant.  Sometime in late May or early June, she will give birth to a calf after 250 days of gestation.









The buck Pronghorn is resting.  Most of the time he didn't pay attention to me, only occasionally turning his head and looking into my direction.








Another pregnant doe.  She settled comfortably in the flowers quite a distance from her mate.


Life goes on.

  2. Bellas fotos de los ciervos. Es la época de los nacimientos después del duro invierno. Seguro que vas a tener oportunidades para seguir el desarrollo de los cervatos.
    Un abrazo.
