Thought you guys might like this! Aka Sir David ~ "The Elan, ( Elanus Stupidus) is one of the most stupid animals on the planet. This animal has an amazingly thick skull, so thick, that it only leaves room for a relativly tiny brain, Thus the elan survives only by pure luck, evolution has done it no favours.
The male of the species comes in to "season during july to september,
Hormones surging through its body send its tiny brain into "Moron Mode".
The male you see here, has just relised its urge to mate, resulting in its headlong dash to find a female. So strong is its urge, its completely oblivious to the lions nearby"
"This is a typicle mating behaviour of the male Elan Stupidus, occasionly rival males will try to outdo each other, by dashing directly into each other, clashing horns, however During peak breeding season, even a tree will do, as can be seen here."...............
