Sprinting Bongo, Republic of the Congo, 2000

Photographer Michael Nichols: "Arriving at the bai, I'd camouflage myself on the ground or climb 35 feet [10.67 meters] to my hide, or blind, where I'd spend up to ten hours watching and waiting. ... When a bongo sprinted into the bai, I reflexively tripped the shutter to catch a creature very rare in this region."

—From "The Green Abyss: Megatransect, Part Two," March 2001
