Eye to Eyelashes

An addax spotted me while I was spotting her, creating a geometric face off. With eyelashes. :)

 

The addax aka white antelope or screwhorn antelope is critically endangered, and almost nonexistent in its native habitat of the Saharan desert and margins. Fortunately, they do ok in captivity, and Brookfield Zoo has a breeding program in place. They have been reintroduced in Morocco and Tunisia.
