AN adorable photo has captured the moment an impala showed off to a nearby elephant by jumping into the air.

Janet Kleyn, 52, snapped the incredible image of the impala – a medium-size antelope – in the Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana.

The wildlife photographer said she was perched in an underground photo hide when she spotted an elephant approaching the water and got ready to take the shot.

“The impala was drinking off to the left and all of a sudden jumped into my viewfinder and I got the shot,” she said.

The nature-loving photographer said impalas jump when they are startled and can reach heights of up to three metres.

“The way that the impalas’ jump is thought to be a way of showing off and demonstrating their strength and ability to the intruder,” she said.

“He had only just caught sight of him as he got closer to the water.

“The elephant was not showing any signs of aggression towards the impala.”

It’s not the first time a wildlife photographer has captured an amazing moment in nature in Botswana.

Last year, a doting mother elephant was pictured helping her new-born baby back on its feet after it took a nasty tumble during its first few shaky steps.

Charl Stols, 39, who works as a photo host for Pangolin Photo Safaris, witnessed the cute encounter during a boat ride on the Chobe River in Botswana.

The new family — a mum and two youngsters — were seen making their way to the river for a drink when the smallest calf plunged down several times at the water’s edge. Luckily mum was on hand to help, and can be seen carefully lifting her precious offspring back up using her trunk and her feet.

Charl, who watched the elephants interact for around 40 minutes, said: “It was a very special moment. We have lots of elephants in Chobe but that must have been the youngest elephant I’d ever seen. To watch the mother gently guiding him and then even seeing the little calf swim was a touching experience.”
