Eland or Bushbuck?

• by ZhaoYiLi

  I couldn't really tell from this deer's horns matches a Bushbuck, but that's what I ultimately marked it as. I was going to mark it as an Eland because I thought the horns looked similar, but the rest of the body doesn't.

  Elands are a lot thicker set I think, bushbuck looks right for the markings, so that's what I would have put it as.

  Yes, that's a very handsome male bushbuck -- we very rarely see these in the flesh!
