Eland?

  • Traceydix by Traceydix

    Is this an Eland? The horns don't look quite right for a male, but it appears to have a dewlap.

    It confused me too. In the end, I went with hartebeest (ignoring the hair on the neck). Maybe it's a young eland.

    Don't think it's a hartebeest- the horns look too long and straight to me for that. Young eland sounds good.

    Absolutely eland, a female. Hartebeest horns that long would be kinked, and the dewlap is small but present.
