Hartbeest or Gazelle?

  Nice shot of udders. But whose are they?

  I would say it's too large to be a gazelle, so maybe a hartebeest...

  Thanks! I've see a few shots of bellies like this (without the udders) and I've been calling them Hartbeest. The creamy colour and the veins in the legs seem distinctive.

  Here's another. I guess she stood in front of the camera for quite a while.

  Hmm the inside of its leg looks like the same color as its body wery tricky without the fine tool we are provided with ..
  Hartebest are quiet white on the inside of it's legs on the pictures we have to compare with (more then 3 pics on each species would be GREAT) and some in daylight of them all from all sites and ages (like 7-8 pics of each species) .
  Grant's, Thomson's and impala are totaly white on their belly so it cant be those for sure they also have band pattern that doesn's match here..
  And topi & eland's are easey to recornize so the closest must be hartebeest. I think the sunlight cheats us ..
