Can't identify these guys

    It's hard to tell the deer-like creatures apart sometimes. These have huge, ridged horns that don't seem to curve exactly like any of the things I tried looking at. I labeled it as a Grant's gazelle but I don't think the horns are right.

    Oh, I thought impala's horns twisted outward more. Oh well.

    It could be a grants as well, it is hard to see the antelope in the back - but they are so thick!
    If it is a grants he must be quite the manly man 😉

    This is either a grant or a tommy -- you can tell both by the horns as well as the coloration inside the ear. Hard to tell for sure which gazelle it is though -- it looks to me a bit like the horns curve outward at the top; I'd probably say grant. Grants and tommys often hang out together in mixed herds, which makes things even more difficult!
