I did get close to this guy - he hung around the cottages on the Game Reserve - he had been deserted by his mother and reared by a Ranger, so he thought that he was human
He would quite happily come into the cottage and walk around grabbing the odd apple .. if you were sat on the grass he would come up to you and make friends
He liked to flight, and would butt your leg - you would be surprised how strong these small guys are
his horns had been reduced in size - I was told that one had broken and the other had been cut down to match
anyway he had no intention of joining the other Springboks on the Reserve and preferred the gated area around the cottages
He is a beautiful animal - happy to live alongside man - we were very lucky to experience him
