Snapshot Serengeti Talk

Any Ideas?

    Based on size and the look of a mane around the neck I'm guessing this is a male lion but I'm not entirely sure. It doesn't look quite right. Any other ideas on what it might be?

    This is a wildebeest, one of the more abundant large ungulates of Serengeti. If you can lighten the photo you will note its black face contrasting with grey-brown body, the vertical dark stripes on its forequarters, its slender antelope legs, its hook-like horns.
