Snapshot Serengeti Talk
I guessed bat-eared fox on the basis of ear-striping. Tough call I think.
There is something moving in the foreground tree; it is visible only as a silhouette. I guessed a vervet monkey.
Topis or Hartebeest or Waterbucks I think. Hard to tell which.
Is that a vervet monkey yanking on the foreground tree? 3 very distant animals also.
Sheer guesswork, but I think it unlikely that so many trees are visible at the horizon, and suggest a huge herd of Wildebeest instead.
Too far! My guess is based on the whitish back of the nearest one. Could be more than those flagged --- or fewer: I am sure of two animals.
Wildebeest giving the camera a once over.
Well, two possible birds: dark with stripe(s) upper left side before tree base; light green upper right, left of foreground tree. Disagree?
Beats me! Something's rump with horns? I picked (very uneasily) Wildebeest. Better ideas?
White rump patch of a waterbuck?
This is a shot in the dark! That brown stripey object in left foreground is what?
I said "gazelle" based on color, but it could be anything, even a bird, moving like a bat our of hell!
Perfect images of a Grant's Gazelle!
Reedbuck from body shape, coloring, & texture, but no black spot below the ear & the ears are shorter than in other types. Other ideas?
Judging from the 3rd frame, which shows a Thomson's gazelle (based on face and body marking); no horns then => young animal.
Leg markings look like an Impala's, but head shape more like a reedbuck's. The ears seem to look like neither's. Ideas?
Possibly Grant's, but in the end I chose Thompson's because of the markings on the body fur (as per the examples).
These "buffalo" could well be any other ungulates!
Bushbuck? The shape of the head and ears make this doubtful. Any suggestions?
It looks like a bird, but is it? I can detect no change in its pixels among the 3 frames.
Human? About 1/3 from the right, nearly on the horizon, in front of a tree leaning to the right.
Nice interaction of the near gazelle with the camera.
I can't remember seeing the two gazelle species in close proximity before. What's your experience?
Well, 'nothing here' but a fire and some animal whose eye is reflecting the flash!
Is that a lioness is the extreme left or could it be a spotted hyena, with its eye on something in the distance?
Looks like a dying or dead animal.
Could equally well be a waterbuck (I like the ears better, actually), or even a Dik Dik.
#Aardvark, maybe? Or are they exclusively nocturnal?
Where's your mom, little guy?
A bit of a long shot! Yellow-legged, tallish bird. Well, ....
Pretty windy, but what is that in the foreground of the last frame?
I count 11 legs, some of them very small! But the "three" I selected does not include whatever is on the ground(?) in the right foreground.
