EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the African savannah, a captivating scene unfolds as Etienne Steenkamp's camera lens captures the intricate relationship between three iconic species: an impala, an oxpecker, and a rhino. The impala, a graceful antelope with a coat of rich, chestnut brown, stands alert, its ears pricked forward, as it grazes on the sparse grasses. Its reflection in the still water of a nearby watering hole adds an element of serenity to the image. Perched on the impala's back, an oxpecker, a small, black and white bird, busily picks at the insects that inhabit the impala's hide. This mutually beneficial relationship between the two species is known as mutualism. The oxpecker not only helps to keep the impala free of parasitic ticks and other biting insects but also alerts the impala to any potential danger with its sharp eyesight and warning calls. In the background, the majestic form of a rhino emerges from the shadows, its massive horns casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. The rhino, a gentle giant, is a symbol of strength and resilience in the African wilderness. Its presence adds a sense of awe and wonder to the scene, reminding us of the raw power and beauty of nature. Etienne Steenkamp's photograph is a testament to the intricate web of life that exists in the African savannah. It invites us to appreciate the delicate balance between different species and the importance of mutualistic relationships in maintaining the health and diversity of ecosystems. Through his lens, Steenkamp captures not just a moment in time, but a glimpse into the complex and interconnected world of wildlife.
