black band on leg= new animal?

    The closest animal I can match this to is Grant's gazelle, but I do not see any black bands on their legs. Is this a different type of gazelle/antelope?

    This is an eland, the black bands are characteristic as well as the large spiral horns. They are the biggest african antelope species around the size of a cow!

    Ah! Good to know. They look much different from behind.
