Short story published by Mercury Press & Media Ltd.
This is the moment a quick-thinking kudu tricked his way out of a hyena ambush by losing himself in a herd of zebra.
The lone bull greater kudu - which is a large species of antelope - had been drinking at a waterhole in Namibia's Etosha National Park when he was surrounded by 14 hyenas who had been hunting nearby.
After a three hour standoff and with his chances of survival looking slim, the kudu noticed a herd of zebra swimming across the waterhole in his direction, giving him the perfect opportunity to lose himself in the crowd.
As the zebra approached, the kudu dived into the water and forced his way in to the centre of the herd, making it almost impossible for the hyena to single him out.
When the herd of zebra left the water together a short time later, the kudu escaped with them, keeping his head down the crowd until he was far enough away from the hyenas to make his escape..
