Grant's or Thomson's : a good exercise !

• by hayvel

  For me, from left to right :

  • Thomson's

  • Grant's

  • Thomson's

  • Grant's (facing, young black stripped)

  • 2 Thomson's

  • Grant's (pale black stripe)

  • Thomson's (only head)

  Right ?

  I agree, except the head only is a Grant's ( and there are 2 more gazelles in far background, could be either but probably Grant's ) 😃

  It´s very easy identifying Thomson's from Grant's, the Thomson's have a black strip under their browny skin in their belly and Grant's have only brown and white colours.

  The adult Grant's does sometimes have a dark strip along the flank, and the young Grant's always has it 😃
