Herd of white-eared kob
February 9, 2011
White-Eared Kob, Sudan
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
Thousands of white-eared kob race in the shadow of a Wildlife Conservation Society survey plane in a park east of Bor. The seasonal migration of animals in southern Sudan is a spectacle to rival the flow of animals across Tanzania's Serengeti Plain.
