It is breeding season in this part of Africa. We have seen buck impala chasing does about 4 times in the last 10 days. Baboons are breeding, as are other plains game. I am amazed at the similarities between male impala and the whitetailed deer of Alabama.
It is the cycle of life. Animals reproduce and thus the earth is replenished. Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a season for everything. A time for every purpose.
The male impala, like the whitetail is in a fighting mood. We watched a buck impala at at water hole with his gang of breeding females. Other bucks would approach his group. He would chase that buck away, meanwhile another one would sneak in, and he'd just get back to the herd he'd have to chase that one.
Of all the Scripture that we OUGHT to obey, about the only one we have come close to getting correct is, "Go forth and multipy." And, in the USA and some other countries we seem on the verge of messing that one up also.
