tail question

  • mistyfriday by mistyfriday

    Is there something odd about this youth's tail? Or is this the way they develop? The tuft just emerges from part way up the tail. I believe this is the first I have seen something like this.

    it's typical in hartebeest I think - a dark hair crest that starts part-way down the dorsal surface of tail.
