Adult Calf Common Connochaetes Running Taurinus Week Wildebeest
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the raw beauty and power of the Common or Blue Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) in their natural habitat, the Liuwa Plains of Zambia. The image showcases an adult wildebeest in full flight, its powerful legs propelling it forward in a graceful yet forceful gallop. In the foreground, two week-old calves keep pace with their mother, their tiny hooves barely touching the ground as they cling to her side. The Common Wildebeest, also known as the Blue Wildebeest due to their distinctive blue-black coats, are the largest antelope in Africa. Historically, these animals were once widespread across the African continent, but their numbers were decimated by overhunting and habitat loss. Today, they are primarily found in eastern and southern Africa, with the Liuwa Plains in Zambia being one of the last remaining strongholds for this species. November is an important month in the wildebeest's annual cycle, as it marks the beginning of the rainy season and the calving season. During this time, the herds gather in the plains, and the females give birth to their calves, which are born weak and vulnerable. The mother's instinct to protect her newborn is strong, and she will do everything in her power to keep her calf safe from predators. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and strength of these magnificent animals, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving their habitats and protecting their populations. The Liuwa Plains National Park, where this photograph was taken, is a vital refuge for the Common Wildebeest and other endangered species, and is a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike.
