Dances with Bambi

Antoine and his Gazelle, Niger, 2000.

Dances with Bambi

In his garden in Niamey, Antoine dances with Bambi, his gazelle from the Ténéré. Mind the friendly head-butts though, Bambi was no plushie toy. That was twenty years ago. Today, Antoine still lives in Africa, with and for the wildlife, as the director of operations of a natural park as big as a country. Like Jacques Brel said, by the time you’re fifteen, you’ve concocted all your dreams. Afterwards, you look to fulfill them. Antoine has succeeded in doing just that. Thanks to Bambi?
