    Michael,

    I had such a laugh at this blogpost. Yes, everybody comes home with 'bum-shots'. But my favorite has always been the zebra's. (And I will not explaiin why!!)

    Cheers my friend, well done.

  2. Anil says:

    It's close between the rhino and zebra, but I'll give the rhino the final count. They probably don't win very many beauty contests :)

  3. Christine says:

    All cute and funny in their own way, but the "Best Bum" award has to go to the beautiful Waterbuck! No contest!

    Thanks for putting a smile on my face with this article :)

  4. Morgane says:

    Can i post one? ;-) My fav: waterbucks.

  5. Lisa says:

    Best bum is by far the waterbuck!

  6. Carryl Edwards says:

    They are all beautiful, but I’d have to say my favorite is the Zebra. Great photos!

  7. africafreak says:

    Thanks for all your comments so far everyone, I can see a clear favourite already…

    Can the odds be turned around? Keep on commenting, we will soon find out… ;)

    Must admit mine is a little different: I just LOVE the impala bum! :) Perhaps it's because of the M shape (my name is Michael…)?! And no, it has nothing to do with Mc Donalds!

    Cheers
