Photos of African Herbivores by Yvonne van der Mey

From the tallest herbivores (Giraffes) to the smallest (Pygmy Antelopes), and on land or even under water (the Hippo), they all are fascinating animals. They all have their special stories, but of course, the one more spectaculair than the other.

You don't have much to fear from the Antelopes, but Hippos are the animal that causes the most human deaths in Africa each year, apart from the Mosquito (Malaria).

There is one thing they all have in common: whichever species you look at on a photograph, they instantly remind you of Africa. For instance, a photo of the majestic giraffe or a zebra can bring back the light, the smells, the sounds and the African vibe that grabs you and never lets you go.
