what is this?

    haha one of the most difficult. I put it was a buffalo based on the are in which the hairy part of the tail starts. Also taking into account the size of the leg, seems like a cattle size animal.

    Hi rubhdez,

    Yes, closeups in flashlight are often challenging. You are right, big animal, but actually wildebeest here. The tail is best cue here to distinguish from e.g. buffalo. We have long whisk-tail here (buffalo tail would be with longer "smooth" part, just end part tuft) 😃
