Mountain Bongo at the Los Angeles Zoo
Uploaded: February 06, 2006 00:16:59
This is a really nice looking antelope that I photographed on February 4, 2006 at the Los Angeles Zoo. Unlike the more common bongo, the mountain bongo is an endangered subspecies of antelope that lives only in a few pockets of mountain forests in Kenya. It is such a rare animal that it has not been seen in much of its natural habitat in nearly a decade. But thanks to zoos in the US, efforts are now underway to re-establish healthy groups of mountain bongos in the wild.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
