Not happy
This bull was walking back from the river, with quite some pace. He charged us seconds after this picture was taken, but only to continue his walk. I wondered why he was so eager to walk away from the river. Only later, when looking at the pictures, did I notice a big gash in his trunk. I don't know what happened (a crocodile maybe?), but it must have been very painful.
