  I think wildebeest partly because buffalo ears tend to be dark and to droop more. Wildebeest ears are a bit like this - longer, with the sides curled in a bit, and a pale edge.

  Yes, it's a wildebeest -- and tirralirra is absolutely right about the droopy ears on a buffalo.

  BTW - This is the same branch the 'un-injured' buffalo was scratching its privates on, in Image ASG0009uvh !

  David! You're amazing! But then, I guess the branch IS memorable!

  Ran-chan, I'd say that's a wildebeest - they have quite a shaggy 'beard' that hangs down their neck.
