Incredibly emotional scenes from Martloth Park as a heroic wildebeest refused to leave its dying friend behind.
Bradley Ballantyne filmed this unusual footage on Olifants Street in Martloth Park, just outside Kruger National Park. He said he was on his way home from “having lunch” at a waterhole when he said “noticed a wildebeest displaying unusual behavior”.
A closer look revealed that it was actually two wildebeest, but one of them wasn’t looking too healthy, and for unknown reasons, it had collapsed by the side of the road.
Bradley began filming, unaware that he was about to capture footage of an amazing moment between wildebeests that would show the capacity for survival that some animals have.
