EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible symbiotic relationship between an African forest buffalo and yellow-billed oxpeckers in Parc de la Lekedi, Gabon. The majestic buffalo stands tall with its flanks adorned by these tiny birds, creating a mesmerizing scene amidst the lush greenery of the African forest. The African forest buffalo, known scientifically as Syncerus caffer nanus, exudes power and strength as it confidently walks through its natural habitat. Its dark coat contrasts beautifully against the vibrant colors of the surrounding flora. Meanwhile, the yellow-billed oxpeckers (Buphagus africanus) cling to its sides, serving as both companions and caretakers. These small birds play a vital role in maintaining the health of their larger companion. As they perch on the buffalo's back or cling to its flanks, they diligently pick off parasites such as ticks and fleas from its skin. This mutually beneficial relationship is a remarkable example of nature's harmonious balance. Parc de la Lekedi in Haut-Ogooue offers a unique opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to witness such extraordinary interactions up close. With no one else present in this photograph, it captures an intimate moment between these fascinating creatures. Mick Baines & Maren Reichelt have skillfully captured this enchanting scene through their lens, showcasing not only the beauty of Africa's diverse fauna but also highlighting nature's intricate connections that exist within it.
