Notes:		We came upon a small breeding herd south of King\'s Pool late one afternoon. One of the youngsters crossed the road behind us, thus placing us between it and its mother. She took exception to this, and let us know in no uncertain fashion. We didn\'t hang around to argue. Note that Mum has a nice hole in and a curving piece out of her left ear. Might be useful ID markers.
