Description of Waterbuck misleading?

• by davidbygott moderator

  Jihang just made a good point. The description of Waterbuck in the ID Guide says: "Large, bulky antelope with brown coarse hair and a white circle around rump" - That describes the Common/Ellipsen waterbuck better than the Defassa waterbuck that we have in Serengeti. Could the description be changed to something like: "Large, bulky antelope with brown coarse hair and a white rump patch with dark tail"?
