As antelopes go, topis (here photographed on
the Maasai Mara, Kenya) are probably the most
gregarious of the bunch. They’re usually found
in herds of up to 20, but will happily mingle with
other antelopes and can even be spotted rubbing
shoulders with zebras and ostriches. When not
widening their social circles, topis spend most of
their time grazing, using that beautifully slender
