Animal looking at camera - but which?

• by sencat

  I am reasonably sure the animal standing in the background (you can see its legs) is an Impala but I'm not certain about the foreground one. Looks like a primate to me, so I decided on baboon but I'm not quite sure.
  What do you think?

  It is a wildebeest - they have a luxuriant off white beard . It is the legs of a wildebeest in the background, complete with dark knee patches 😃

  Thanks! Couldn't really make sense of it with that angle, that's why I picked Baboon. Probably a poor choice in hindsight XD

  At least you chose something, and that is the right way to do it . Others will classify image and arrive at a consensus 😃

  @sencat it's totally okay to make mistakes! In fact, this actually gives us really valuable information about the image. By looking at how much people disagree on what's in an image, we can get a very precise sense of just how difficult that image is, which is really really useful.
