Snapshot Serengeti Talk
Me, too (bird) but couldn't see enough to call it a Guinea fowl.
That could be!
Went with wildebeest, too. Ear really seems wrong for a hyena.
What an interesting shot. I think plants in front, hare in middle and maybe a few wildebeest in back. But what is that bluish aura?
3 Tommies.
Thanks, D.
Weird. Maybe elephant, but I went with hippo (in 6 am daylight with the 3-hour clock correction?)
Up on it's hind legs?
reedbuck?
Hmm. Guessed spotted hyena.
Tail tucked under it's body?
Looks like a caterpillar.
I think it's probably a witch; or maybe a proto-scarecrow.
#slate
The colors look like superb starling, but maybe too large...
Yeah, I'm just laughing at myself. I let that "hump" in the one in the background sway every other cue.
Well, then I got them ALL wrong! Thanks.
I called these wildebeest, but the one to the left sure looks like a buffalo in the psychedelic rectangle.
Ick! Reminds me of (trying to) fend off tsetse flies in Tarangiri.
Maybe a lion.
#daily-zoo
#bird-other perched on or just above the camera
Seems like a young adult male #eland in front with more and a few zebras in the back.
#elephant #young #selfie
#wildcat #Daily-zoo First I've ever seen in the project. Assuming the ufos are raindrops.
#leopard I think this is the same camera that caught that great hyena image I tagged earlier today.
A pretty decent pic of #spotted-hyena at night, with a full belly. #dailyzoo
#eland #young
wildebeest babies I think.
this seems like an aardvark on the right.
giraffe?
right ear?
leopard, I think
Yeah, I was torn between serval and hyena. Seems too tall for serval, so I went with hyena.
Muzzle - or maybe horn?
#wildebeest #young #zebra
I think these are raindrops, falling downward to the left.
#Thompsons-gazelle #daily-zoo
Striking close-up of a #young #zebra's hide. Fuzzy and brown.
Thanks. I hadn't noticed that characteristic of cheetahs before.
cheetah, unless this camera is quite low.
#bird-other tail in frame 3.
#wildebeest shot where they appear to be checking out another near-full moon. #daily-zoo (3 days after the "pink" or "paschal" full moon.)
#wildebeest #daily_zoo Kind of a cool nighttime shot a few days after the "cold moon."
#tommys and scads of #warthogs. 7?
Thanks!
This sure looks like a young topi in front with Grants in the back; and young Grants or Thompson at left.
At least 2, maybe 3 #elephant here.
Pretty decent #hippo shot. #daily-zoo
steenbok?
Also a #bird-other here.
#hippo
Thanks. Not as big as I thought.
I can't tell how large this animal is. If it's really big, I'd say rhino. (Well, I did.)
Egyptian goose, I think.
#cheetah or 2. Obvious one seems young.
#dik-dik #daily-zoo Also seems to be some ants, maybe, in lower left.
Some sort of vulture? Maybe lappet-faced?
#Guinea_fowl #daily_zoo #selfie #zebra #wildebeest
#thompsons_gazelle #young #selfie
Wonder if the lion took that from a cheetah?
#impala #oxpecker #daily_zoo
Well, they didn't run from us in daylight when we were surprised that we got between lionesses and their cubs.
Lions can hide in pretty short grass. Just saying...
Oh, goody!
Thanks.
Odd mix here. #marabou_stork #daily_zoo, maybe a vervet monkey and maybe a vehicle behind that. I dunno...
Maybe impala?
I suppose one should never type after tippling, but I think this must be 2 antelope. The spots/stripes are artifacts & I see 2 heads,1 down.
#bat-eared_fox
#elephants No button for "dusting" :>)
Seems pretty green for smoke. Dust?
A minor point, but do we count insect/spider when we can only see the web? Or is this as a shadow?
#eland #daily-zoo
Also there is a very odd edge to the "plume" on both sides.
#genet
#lion #cub Cute!
I was headed there, too, but then saw the reddish scruff at the shoulder and figured a young eland...
maybe a couple of warthogs at water's edge
maybe eland
#eland dewlap
seems like BEFs.
I think moths make more sense; they seem fuzzy, so maybe closer to the camera than I first thought.
#wildebeest #young #dailyzoo
Two UFOs (bats?) about to beam up a buffalo(?)
Thanks, David. I'll stop doing that even when I'm almost certain what it is!
#impala. It that a new-born in the grass on the right?
something from Paul Klee
#buffalo #dailyzoo
Ouch!
Seems tall for one, but the skin looks like a hippo to me.
Thanks for the ID.
Maybe a European roller.
Also Grants gazelle.
Maybe thick-knees...
Are the faces of wildebeest young concave instead of convex, as in adults?
Is that a wound on the #buffalo 's neck?
... like wildebeest beard(?)
Looking at these old weaver bird nests, I wonder if that is what we are seeing at the top of some other camera traps that sort of look...
And what to make of this "hairy" thing [top edge?] Are some of the cameras wrapped in cloth? Or wildebeest beard?
#red-necked-spurfowl
#warthog Not sure if this is the same camera with the immobile "hairy" thing in upper left, but the one here moves slightly.
Darn! Went back and forth between genet & serval. The smaller ears...
#lion-male
Oh good, that is what I thought, tho' one of the 2 in back looks oddly colored.
Counted the shadow in frame 1 (vs frame 2) as a moving zebra.
elephant?
Surprisingly close proximity of #guinea_fowl and #gazelle(Thompson's). The value of shade?
guessed a baboon troop, with maybe a youngster atop the back of the lead in frame 1.
#impala #selfie
The #zebra in foreground reminds me of a horse we had when I was a kid - eating the corral boards.
Am I missing something obvious or is this a rhino?
#zebra #selfie
I don't think it's an animal - maybe just a stick that popped up when the zebra stepped on it...
We saw some occupied weaver bird nests at about 3-5' when we visited.
The lead #zebra is stepping over something that moves.
This seems to be a dust devil.
the back end of a kori bustard?
guessed eland
Many, if not all of these are #zebra.
Love the perspective here. #giraffe
1 fairly obvious #giraffe, but one or two more, far right and middle left? Looks like two antelope-like grazers, too - maybe impala.
That's the same tree trunk that fooled me as the "2nd giraffe" in another pic.
black-backed jackal, i think
Aha!
Odd patch on the adult #giraffe back here. Maybe an oxpecker starting to fly?
Yeah, I remember the 3 hour offset; I also meant the condition of the range. It's dry season, I think: time for Rx burning.
What they hey; shoot for the moon: maybe a little free-tailed bat!
Seems like an unlikely time for fog and the haze is bluish, so I went with fire.
#wildebeest #selfie
I think that's a star. Bye the way, is your avatar Wally from Dilbert?
When I zoom in on this pic, the "head" looks like it belongs to the background.
#elephant #selfie
or steenbok? large ears there.
Or, http://africageographic.com/blog/sibuyas-leucistic-cape-buffalo/ ?
Yeah. Also, is that hair on the horns?
#buffalo, mostly, but what is that way back at right? Went with zebra, but it looks pretty hefty.
Well, I went back & forth here, too. Ended up at baboon, but can't see the tail.
All the distinct animals are #buffalo, including an extreme close-up. The background herd looks like wildebeest to me.
https://www.beautyofbirds.com/yellowbilledoxpeckers.html
went with impala. the mom is either a saint or there is something flying - maybe 2 wing-beats; guessed insect.
Well, I'm glad everyone agrees. :>)
#lion #male
Here's a shot showing a #young #impala #male with horns rather straight.
No clue on this one. Seems blurred from movement. Guessed spotted hyena. Maybe aardvark.
Yeah, that sure looks like a tree trunk (background.)
Looks like a spiderweb at upper right.
#giraffe #young. One in rear(?) looks young, too.
I wonder how hard it would be to assemble some pics of young in the key photos or would this mess up the classification algorithm?
Went with young impala, based upon this other sub-species: http://www.canstockphoto.com/impala-antelope-0523451.html
Sure looks like 2 wing-beats of something, doesn't it?
4 #topi
Well, no sooner did I whine then this showed up... https://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/subjects/ASG001tjom
I keep missing these, going with topi, because not sure of dark marks at night.. Is the one in front rather young (horns not converging?)
What is going on with the #wildebeest in the front left? Don't often see them with head clear to the ground.
Well, that makes sense, tho' the back appears humped - which is why I decided against hyena.
I seem to remember a Jr-High sock hop like this....
Saw this article a year ago or so: http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2014/04/01/zebras-stripes-evolution-animals-science/
This one really puzzles me due to a lack of detail. Went with honey badger (vs. b-e fox), but I've never encountered one in the pics before.
Looks like a pretty one-sided tussle, if that's what it is.
odd-looking #impala
Doh! Thanks.
seems to have a bushy tail with a black end, but too small for wildebeest & too large and not very humped for what I guessed - bat-eared fox
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's certainly not ....
guessed impala
Thanks. Ckecked other photo locs; all seem to be same spot. Maybe the project centroid is what shows, rather than the specific camera trap.
OK, I just zoomed in on the plot location. If it's accurate, it's in a field amidst a settlement, with many dwellings around it!
Ikoma Tented Camp is 2.3 miles SE of this location. 2 other camps closer and more southerly. Not sure which way the camera is pointing.
We stayed in a tented camp not too far from this spot in 2012, which is what made me wonder. Assume the time is incorrect for the camera....
Camps? Vehicles and dust? Fire & smoke? Probably not lightning.
#impala Dark spot just in front of hind legs & general body shape.
#eland Patch on back of front legs.
#buffalo #bird_other #yellow-billed_oxpecker
Oh, good; my pay was just doubled!
SS pays us TWICE as much for guessing - right or wrong!
Maybe a bat, too?
#eland. Yes, the black marks on the back of the front legs are a very strong clue!
Fun pic of #eland #warthog and at least one #oxpecker.
I guess it's an igo, now.
The orange ugo looks translucent in this shot.
Yeah, they're spotted (not uniform) on my screen and cheetahs have several dark rings at end of tails. But build/leg length make lion sense.
#buffalo
The shoulder hump and low carriage of the head threw me. Thought 3 cheetah brothers.
Are there two young with the #hartebeest at left?
Might that be a tented camp on the left background?
My first thought was reedbuck, then impala, but finally went to dik dik, even if the nose seems off. What are they?
#giraffe Pattern seems unusual.
#wildebeest
I have previously labelled this branch as "lion", kssmk2.
Pretty sure this is a reedbuck male.
#impala Black ear tips, black glands on rear legs at back, near feet.
I don't remember seeing the animal-like figures in the far center middle-ground, so I guessed Thomspon's gazelle. Maybe they're just plants.
surreal #zebra
bat or owl?
I've often wondered if I was seeing a building in the background of this camera field. Is that a lit building?
Wood. Ha!
Sticking my neck out here, as usual. Seems like this may be a lioness resting in the shade.
These sure look like impala to me, albeit two look youngish.
Is this the same cam, moved a bit? ASG001qrbm Anyway, same view in front, but back about a foot; and the one in back is moving out, too.
Agree, but I think probably a Thompson's. Grants have that bit of "eyeliner" above the eye socket. Horn curve/ribbing seem consistent, too.
Nope; not unless it is VERY sedentary!
#hartebeest and #zebra in close proximity
Looks as if the #warthog had an incident involving its tail... #zebra here, too.
No one has figured it out yet as far as I know.
Are you referring to the one directly behind the one in the foreground, with an overlapping image?
Any guess what these fellows are looking for?
Is the consensus that "even" streaks such as these are insects?
Doh! Did the same thing. It looks like a lapwing, if rather a large one.
Not sure what the shutter speed is on these cameras at night, but this wave in the middle looks like a bat through 3 wingbeats.
guessed spotted hyena
I think this is the first time I've seen a #giraffe eating grass.
It almost looks like a bike helmet, with the harness hanging out under it when I mess with the pic. Maybe a balloonist dropped something.
I see what you're suggesting, maricksu. It has the appearance of a knit cloth.
This is the most I've seen in one shot so far.
#impala The spots are diagnostic.
I have taken to copying them and pasting into a photo program & enhancing them (2 key presses.) The wildebeest pops right out on this one.
Thanks. Finally guessed correctly! Where do bustards go at night anyway?
I went with 5 #impala, but the one I said was resting looks like a kori bustard. :~|
That reminds me; what about blowing smoke (not just haze) when flame isn't visible?
Their horns come this large. The guide images are misleading about this.
Oh, good; I guessed correctly. Wasn't sure if I was seeing the tail tuft between the legs.
Yes.
#buffalo. Is the one front left a "teen"?
I went with spotted hyena. Sloooow cameras!
Our guide suggested a mutualistm; zebras' better eyesight can warn the wildebeest of predators; zebras get protection in wildebeest herd.
Are those storks at the edge of the burn?
I went with wildebeest. And, yes, the number of young (topi & zebra) add a lot of cute.
This has to be the cutest (and one of the more diverse) captures I've ever seen here!
Sure looks like a fly sitting there, doesn't it?
But there aren't any anchors visible, so...
If you enhance it, it does look like a web. The white dot near the top looks like a spider in the center of a web
Thanks. The head shape seems wrong to me.
wildebeest in front, but went with buffalo in the back right.
I'm going for, uhh, donkey.
Hmm..
Yeah, maybe we need an "aliens" choice?
OK, here it is again, but with companions. Just light, rather than a streaking, flying animal, I think.
This looks like a flying animal went through the picture...
#eland. The dark patches on the back of the forelegs are a give-away.
Can't see any corrugations on this horn. Puzzling.
I've wondered why we don't easily have reference shots easily available....
This looks like an x-ray of my beat-up fingers, however I went with insect over nothing.
The colors (for at least two) are sure characteristic of the Masai.
Thanks; that helps. We did see livestock in Ngorongoro (but not on the caldera floor) while there, and lots in the Olduvai area, as well.
It will be worse next year unless the authorities enforce the rules.We noted a lot of bribery of officials in parks while there in 2012.
Might be a go-away bird.
I'm seeing a number of shots with sheep and goats coming up. I don't think these are zebras anymore.
#superb-starling
Yeah, that makes sense. They seemed too small for zebras, but maybe they're farther off than they seem.
The shot is confusing me. Looks like a wildebeest, some sheep or goats (cattle?) and some large vehicle. Gotta quit the whiskey!
Looks like a buffalo to me.
#aardwolf
#hartebeest
I guessed mongoose, but we can't tell how large it is.
I think I see a #human there, too! ;>)
Odd camera effect on this shot of a #topi. Double flash?
What is this #wildebeest down to, David?
That's what I usually guess with this height & coat color & fur length if it's antelope-like.
Looks as if her collar is visible in frame 3.
#bird-other Looks like some bustard species(?)
Far left is #Thompson's-gazelle. Others probably are, too. (I wish we had tools to blow up images and enhance lighting; copy & use my own.)
#Thompsons-gazelle s
Looks like rain.
I was tempted to say zebra.
Could be. I don't see the leg patches and the head seems too bulky....
Looks like a domestic cow when I enhance the picture, but I can't see the usual shoulder hump.
Missed #bird-other before I clicked finished.
Maybe a superb starling.
I copied it & blew it up; it's a small tree limb.
I guessed jackal, based upon the 3rd shot, since that looks like a black-backed jackal's back. Hmm.
Really impressive rack on this boy!
Thanks. I thought it could be but the facial markings on the one facing don't seem right.
I think I fell for this one last year. Saw it later in daylight; it is a fallen branch.
This one is throwing me but I think they are duiker's.
#porcupine in the daytime
It's a #buffalo.
#saddle-billed_stork
This is a first for me: #wildebeest and at least 1 #buffalo in close proximity. Great comparison of face angles.
I wonder if it might be helpful to have a training shot with no animals in it (and moving vegetation)? We all seem to get caught early on!
Not sure what that small animal is in the far left middle ground, in front of some wildebeests, but I guessed #mongoose.
I can't remember anything there at this trap before; I think you might have a #warthog. One blown up pic shows a "tail" between the "legs".
Yeah, I caught the bird and also thought oxpecker.
David, what is the wide grey blob on the right? Hate to say I guessed #rhino, but I did.
Cool capture! #bat and #jackal
Good day for that comment. And I get the "dead-ant", too!
I wonder if the #elephant opened the camera box?
Went with #reedbuck too, but Popeye the Sailorman is also a possibility.
Oh, good. I guessed baboon, too, given the color at the tip.
Now that's funny!
#serval ?
I think this is a #GuineaFowl but it must be standing on something.
My guess agrees with your first one, maricksu. The dark patch on the ear of of the 3 at back left, plus overall color persuaded me.
Hmm. I think #eland based upon the tail and the color of the hind quarters.
Hare. That's the tail.
These are common. Maybe the flash doesn't go off?
Look at the 3rd picture of buffalo in the samples for your answer!
#GrantsGazelle but I think the one in the foreground is actually a #ThompsonsGazelle rather than a young Grants.
#wildcat I think.
Not much to go on. #aardwolf was my guess.
guessed #lion.
The series is deceptively complex.
Looks like a past near-miss for the #eland (?) at the left.
#porcupine in daylight
Pretty distinctive marking on one of the #zebra here.
No idea if this is an animal even. About the shape of an #aardvark nose. Maybe it's a Mushu.
#zebra rolling?
Looks as if this gazelle just got done running.
This is the trap for at least one of the guide pics for dik-dik.
#stork
#hippo ?
#serval I think. Ear seemed too hairy for a wildcat.
Missed the 2 #guinea_fowl until I hit finish. Oops.
#pregnant?
Maybe a mongoose
I think that is an #insect flying by in one frame.
Total wag: guessed reedbucks.
I thought it was a cheetah's right ear in frame 1. Would a cheetah take a jackal?
Looks like 3-4 of them.
Pretty sure the animal right off the nose of the front #Grants is a #Thompson, not a young Grants, based upon the black tail & rump.
Looks like a porcupine
#wildguess
Looks as if they just knocked down an acacia.
Just saw this shot in daylight. It's a root.
looks like a cheetah
#snake
Well, that's embarrasing! The wide butts fooled me
OK, I'v e never seen this before. #elephants and #buffalo co-mingling?
#nightfire
So there are two species here, or did I just miss the correct species?
Seems domestic. Ears are pointed.
I would guess hornbill, but...?
#white-backed_vulture
Oops! Called this a zorilla, but it's a #porcupine. Still skunked on this one! (Sorry; couldn't pass on that.)
#leopard - rings, not spots; no rings around end of tail.
Wow!
#white-bellied-bustard
This is exposed granite & gneiss, called kopjes. I don't think there is any salt associated with them but they have their own ecology.
I guessed it was a 2nd wildebeest.
Really not much to go on. The only thing I can think of with these colors is a #reedbuck but I can't even figure out how it is standing!
One #baboon is in a tree of this 3-species shot
Camera being jostled, probably by a #wildebeest
Nice combo! #elephant #vervet
I'm betting it was the camera click or flash.
#insect
#bustard s, but not kori
da boss!
wildebeest are a guess based upon apparent eye level.
maybe a weaver
really only half-standing
#buffalo Enhanced this offline; pretty sure of the giraffes. Can't get any definition on the eye-shine in front of the tallest #giraffe.
Someone else identified this as a hedgehog.
#zebra kicking in frame 3
#unknown Maybe an aardvark.
unusual combination of zebra and buffalo
I love it when there is just enough to be sure! #secretarybird
Nice nails!
copy & enhance offline; they are #wildebeest
The neatest (cleanest) warthog I've ever seen!
Arrrrooooooo! (I'm a dog!)
White-bellied #Bustard ?
I think the bird in the center may be a white #stork.
seems too small for an odd angle on a spotted hyena, but otherwise...
lions laying down!
Copy * enhance offline: hippo
Oops, my bad! Should have checked order first.
Ah, heck, it's not a rhino after all. Probably two buffalo.
Just what looks like part of a tail present.
A bat is a rodent, so I would have gone with rodent and the bat hashtag. Nice shot, too!
#unknown This looks like the top of a banded mongoose, but not enough is visible.
#unknown cat- or dog-like.
Something on the lens that does not move.
*insect
#superb starling
#unknown I think adult wildebeest. Also apparently an ear (lower left) but no horn and seems too far back to belong to main animal.
Yeah, they need "insect" as a choice!
Reedbuck ("a short fluffy tail") or bushbuck ("white patch under their bushy tail.") Impalas & dik-diks have different tails.
It's a wildebeest. See the vertical stripes on the side near the front?
These are reedbucks. Black dot below the ear; correct tail; forward-curved small horns on the male.
Alien? I can't guess this one accurately and there is only one shot.
#buffalo Is the buffalo in the foreground licking a youngster?
#steenbok
Life is good!
#unknown I called it 3 reedbuck (maybe 2) but am unhappy with that. Seems more like a steenbok to me!
Moth?
I think spiderlags has it -while-tailed mongoose, not rodent. All the mongoose examples have narrow tails, so I had excluded that.
Baboon mother with baby, I think.
#spurfowl
Daytime hippo
marabou stork, probably
Lend me your ear!
Can anyone ID this? I called it a #rodent.
Do you believe in fairies?
Really not sure about this...
Called the spotted patch in the shadow a bird. Might be a tortoise.
Look pregnant, or very full.
hare
serval
Really unsure of this one...
unusual rump striping & tail on 1 zebra
crowned lapwing
a very busy image!
Quite a few critters moving in the far background,but I can't ID them.
Look at the 3rd snapshot. Isn't that a lioness that just stood up to the right of the acacia?
If I could take this back, I'd change to lion. Tail not a shadow.
Thought lion, but the tail shadow in 1 pic looks impala. But, the stripe present on most impalas between the two "hip bones" isn't present.
was going to call this a kori bustard, but the legs aren't right.
There are 2 cameras associated with this sample: Guinea fowl here (1-3); & zebras at another place (4-6.)
collared
this frame leads me to impala
in land rover. could be >1.
looks like cloth
could be a lot of ears, but looks like wildebeast
animal at far left I can not id
This could also be a Grant's gazelle.
something very close but can not id
more animals present, but not able to id
probable. another animal also present, but only eyes visible
some small critter in the center of the picture, maybe
several antelope-like animals, but too far away to id
Just guessing;not a lot to see. Could also be a golden jackal, but that isn't a choice.
apparently a moth is in one frame
There is something mostly below the camera frame. It looks honey-bager-like, but is too blurry to tell.
There appear to be 4 animals in this picture, but are out of the light.
something in lower left very near fg that I can't id.
there may be a cheetah in the center of this pic, resting and looking left, but too hard to tell.
just a wild guess; only the tail tip is visible.
a 3 blind men fable; may be an elephant.
uncertain id; bizarre shots & foggy lens. maybe the camera is tipped?
Me, too (bird) but couldn't see enough to call it a Guinea fowl.
That could be!
Went with wildebeest, too. Ear really seems wrong for a hyena.
What an interesting shot. I think plants in front, hare in middle and maybe a few wildebeest in back. But what is that bluish aura?
3 Tommies.
Thanks, D.
Weird. Maybe elephant, but I went with hippo (in 6 am daylight with the 3-hour clock correction?)
Up on it's hind legs?
reedbuck?
Hmm. Guessed spotted hyena.
Tail tucked under it's body?
Looks like a caterpillar.
I think it's probably a witch; or maybe a proto-scarecrow.
#slate
The colors look like superb starling, but maybe too large...
Yeah, I'm just laughing at myself. I let that "hump" in the one in the background sway every other cue.
Well, then I got them ALL wrong! Thanks.
I called these wildebeest, but the one to the left sure looks like a buffalo in the psychedelic rectangle.
Ick! Reminds me of (trying to) fend off tsetse flies in Tarangiri.
Maybe a lion.
#daily-zoo
#bird-other perched on or just above the camera
Seems like a young adult male #eland in front with more and a few zebras in the back.
#elephant #young #selfie
#wildcat #Daily-zoo
First I've ever seen in the project. Assuming the ufos are raindrops.
#slate
#leopard I think this is the same camera that caught that great hyena image I tagged earlier today.
A pretty decent pic of #spotted-hyena at night, with a full belly.
#dailyzoo
#eland #young
wildebeest babies I think.
this seems like an aardvark on the right.
giraffe?
right ear?
leopard, I think
Yeah, I was torn between serval and hyena. Seems too tall for serval, so I went with hyena.
Muzzle - or maybe horn?
#slate
#wildebeest #young
#zebra
#slate
I think these are raindrops, falling downward to the left.
#Thompsons-gazelle #daily-zoo
Striking close-up of a #young #zebra's hide. Fuzzy and brown.
Thanks. I hadn't noticed that characteristic of cheetahs before.
cheetah, unless this camera is quite low.
#bird-other tail in frame 3.
#wildebeest shot where they appear to be checking out another near-full moon. #daily-zoo
(3 days after the "pink" or "paschal" full moon.)
#slate
#wildebeest #daily_zoo
Kind of a cool nighttime shot a few days after the "cold moon."
#tommys and scads of #warthogs. 7?
Thanks!
This sure looks like a young topi in front with Grants in the back; and young Grants or Thompson at left.
At least 2, maybe 3 #elephant here.
Pretty decent #hippo shot. #daily-zoo
steenbok?
Also a #bird-other here.
#slate
#hippo
Thanks. Not as big as I thought.
I can't tell how large this animal is. If it's really big, I'd say rhino. (Well, I did.)
Egyptian goose, I think.
#cheetah or 2. Obvious one seems young.
#dik-dik #daily-zoo
Also seems to be some ants, maybe, in lower left.
Some sort of vulture? Maybe lappet-faced?
#Guinea_fowl #daily_zoo #selfie
#zebra #wildebeest
#slate
#thompsons_gazelle #young #selfie
Wonder if the lion took that from a cheetah?
#impala #oxpecker #daily_zoo
Well, they didn't run from us in daylight when we were surprised that we got between lionesses and their cubs.
Lions can hide in pretty short grass. Just saying...
Oh, goody!
Thanks.
Odd mix here. #marabou_stork #daily_zoo, maybe a vervet monkey and maybe a vehicle behind that. I dunno...
Thanks.
Maybe impala?
I suppose one should never type after tippling, but I think this must be 2 antelope. The spots/stripes are artifacts & I see 2 heads,1 down.
#bat-eared_fox
#elephants No button for "dusting" :>)
Seems pretty green for smoke. Dust?
A minor point, but do we count insect/spider when we can only see the web? Or is this as a shadow?
#eland #daily-zoo
Also there is a very odd edge to the "plume" on both sides.
#genet
#lion #cub
Cute!
Thanks!
I was headed there, too, but then saw the reddish scruff at the shoulder and figured a young eland...
maybe a couple of warthogs at water's edge
maybe eland
#eland dewlap
seems like BEFs.
I think moths make more sense; they seem fuzzy, so maybe closer to the camera than I first thought.
#wildebeest #young #dailyzoo
Two UFOs (bats?) about to beam up a buffalo(?)
#slate
Thanks, David. I'll stop doing that even when I'm almost certain what it is!
#slate
#impala. It that a new-born in the grass on the right?
something from Paul Klee
#buffalo #dailyzoo
Ouch!
Seems tall for one, but the skin looks like a hippo to me.
Thanks for the ID.
Maybe a European roller.
Also Grants gazelle.
Maybe thick-knees...
Are the faces of wildebeest young concave instead of convex, as in adults?
Is that a wound on the #buffalo 's neck?
... like wildebeest beard(?)
Looking at these old weaver bird nests, I wonder if that is what we are seeing at the top of some other camera traps that sort of look...
#slate
#slate
And what to make of this "hairy" thing [top edge?] Are some of the cameras wrapped in cloth? Or wildebeest beard?
Thanks!
#red-necked-spurfowl
#warthog
Not sure if this is the same camera with the immobile "hairy" thing in upper left, but the one here moves slightly.
Darn! Went back and forth between genet & serval. The smaller ears...
#lion-male
Oh good, that is what I thought, tho' one of the 2 in back looks oddly colored.
Counted the shadow in frame 1 (vs frame 2) as a moving zebra.
elephant?
#slate
Surprisingly close proximity of #guinea_fowl and #gazelle(Thompson's). The value of shade?
guessed a baboon troop, with maybe a youngster atop the back of the lead in frame 1.
#impala #selfie
The #zebra in foreground reminds me of a horse we had when I was a kid - eating the corral boards.
Am I missing something obvious or is this a rhino?
#zebra #selfie
I don't think it's an animal - maybe just a stick that popped up when the zebra stepped on it...
We saw some occupied weaver bird nests at about 3-5' when we visited.
The lead #zebra is stepping over something that moves.
This seems to be a dust devil.
the back end of a kori bustard?
guessed eland
Many, if not all of these are #zebra.
Love the perspective here. #giraffe
1 fairly obvious #giraffe, but one or two more, far right and middle left? Looks like two antelope-like grazers, too - maybe impala.
That's the same tree trunk that fooled me as the "2nd giraffe" in another pic.
black-backed jackal, i think
Aha!
Odd patch on the adult #giraffe back here. Maybe an oxpecker starting to fly?
Yeah, I remember the 3 hour offset; I also meant the condition of the range. It's dry season, I think: time for Rx burning.
What they hey; shoot for the moon: maybe a little free-tailed bat!
Seems like an unlikely time for fog and the haze is bluish, so I went with fire.
#impala #selfie
#wildebeest #selfie
I think that's a star. Bye the way, is your avatar Wally from Dilbert?
When I zoom in on this pic, the "head" looks like it belongs to the background.
#elephant #selfie
or steenbok? large ears there.
Or, http://africageographic.com/blog/sibuyas-leucistic-cape-buffalo/ ?
Yeah. Also, is that hair on the horns?
#buffalo, mostly, but what is that way back at right? Went with zebra, but it looks pretty hefty.
Well, I went back & forth here, too. Ended up at baboon, but can't see the tail.
All the distinct animals are #buffalo, including an extreme close-up. The background herd looks like wildebeest to me.
https://www.beautyofbirds.com/yellowbilledoxpeckers.html
went with impala. the mom is either a saint or there is something flying - maybe 2 wing-beats; guessed insect.
Well, I'm glad everyone agrees. :>)
#lion #male
Here's a shot showing a #young #impala #male with horns rather straight.
No clue on this one. Seems blurred from movement. Guessed spotted hyena. Maybe aardvark.
Yeah, that sure looks like a tree trunk (background.)
Looks like a spiderweb at upper right.
#giraffe #young. One in rear(?) looks young, too.
I wonder how hard it would be to assemble some pics of young in the key photos or would this mess up the classification algorithm?
#wildebeest #selfie
Went with young impala, based upon this other sub-species: http://www.canstockphoto.com/impala-antelope-0523451.html
Sure looks like 2 wing-beats of something, doesn't it?
4 #topi
Well, no sooner did I whine then this showed up... https://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/subjects/ASG001tjom
I keep missing these, going with topi, because not sure of dark marks at night.. Is the one in front rather young (horns not converging?)
What is going on with the #wildebeest in the front left? Don't often see them with head clear to the ground.
Well, that makes sense, tho' the back appears humped - which is why I decided against hyena.
I seem to remember a Jr-High sock hop like this....
Saw this article a year ago or so: http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2014/04/01/zebras-stripes-evolution-animals-science/
This one really puzzles me due to a lack of detail. Went with honey badger (vs. b-e fox), but I've never encountered one in the pics before.
Looks like a pretty one-sided tussle, if that's what it is.
odd-looking #impala
Doh! Thanks.
seems to have a bushy tail with a black end, but too small for wildebeest & too large and not very humped for what I guessed - bat-eared fox
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's certainly not ....
guessed impala
Thanks. Ckecked other photo locs; all seem to be same spot. Maybe the project centroid is what shows, rather than the specific camera trap.
OK, I just zoomed in on the plot location. If it's accurate, it's in a field amidst a settlement, with many dwellings around it!
Ikoma Tented Camp is 2.3 miles SE of this location. 2 other camps closer and more southerly. Not sure which way the camera is pointing.
We stayed in a tented camp not too far from this spot in 2012, which is what made me wonder. Assume the time is incorrect for the camera....
Camps? Vehicles and dust? Fire & smoke? Probably not lightning.
#impala Dark spot just in front of hind legs & general body shape.
#eland Patch on back of front legs.
#buffalo #bird_other #yellow-billed_oxpecker
Oh, good; my pay was just doubled!
SS pays us TWICE as much for guessing - right or wrong!
Maybe a bat, too?
#eland. Yes, the black marks on the back of the front legs are a very strong clue!
Fun pic of #eland #warthog and at least one #oxpecker.
I guess it's an igo, now.
The orange ugo looks translucent in this shot.
Yeah, they're spotted (not uniform) on my screen and cheetahs have several dark rings at end of tails. But build/leg length make lion sense.
#buffalo
The shoulder hump and low carriage of the head threw me. Thought 3 cheetah brothers.
Are there two young with the #hartebeest at left?
Might that be a tented camp on the left background?
My first thought was reedbuck, then impala, but finally went to dik dik, even if the nose seems off. What are they?
#giraffe
Pattern seems unusual.
#wildebeest
I have previously labelled this branch as "lion", kssmk2.
Pretty sure this is a reedbuck male.
Thanks.
#impala
Black ear tips, black glands on rear legs at back, near feet.
I don't remember seeing the animal-like figures in the far center middle-ground, so I guessed Thomspon's gazelle. Maybe they're just plants.
surreal #zebra
bat or owl?
I've often wondered if I was seeing a building in the background of this camera field. Is that a lit building?
Wood. Ha!
Sticking my neck out here, as usual. Seems like this may be a lioness resting in the shade.
These sure look like impala to me, albeit two look youngish.
Is this the same cam, moved a bit?
ASG001qrbm
Anyway, same view in front, but back about a foot; and the one in back is moving out, too.
Agree, but I think probably a Thompson's. Grants have that bit of "eyeliner" above the eye socket. Horn curve/ribbing seem consistent, too.
Nope; not unless it is VERY sedentary!
#hartebeest and #zebra in close proximity
Looks as if the #warthog had an incident involving its tail...
#zebra here, too.
No one has figured it out yet as far as I know.
Are you referring to the one directly behind the one in the foreground, with an overlapping image?
Any guess what these fellows are looking for?
Is the consensus that "even" streaks such as these are insects?
Doh! Did the same thing. It looks like a lapwing, if rather a large one.
Not sure what the shutter speed is on these cameras at night, but this wave in the middle looks like a bat through 3 wingbeats.
guessed spotted hyena
I think this is the first time I've seen a #giraffe eating grass.
It almost looks like a bike helmet, with the harness hanging out under it when I mess with the pic. Maybe a balloonist dropped something.
I see what you're suggesting, maricksu. It has the appearance of a knit cloth.
This is the most I've seen in one shot so far.
#impala The spots are diagnostic.
I have taken to copying them and pasting into a photo program & enhancing them (2 key presses.) The wildebeest pops right out on this one.
Thanks. Finally guessed correctly! Where do bustards go at night anyway?
I went with 5 #impala, but the one I said was resting looks like a kori bustard. :~|
That reminds me; what about blowing smoke (not just haze) when flame isn't visible?
Their horns come this large. The guide images are misleading about this.
Oh, good; I guessed correctly. Wasn't sure if I was seeing the tail tuft between the legs.
Thanks.
Yes.
#buffalo.
Is the one front left a "teen"?
I went with spotted hyena. Sloooow cameras!
Our guide suggested a mutualistm; zebras' better eyesight can warn the wildebeest of predators; zebras get protection in wildebeest herd.
Are those storks at the edge of the burn?
I went with wildebeest. And, yes, the number of young (topi & zebra) add a lot of cute.
This has to be the cutest (and one of the more diverse) captures I've ever seen here!
Sure looks like a fly sitting there, doesn't it?
But there aren't any anchors visible, so...
If you enhance it, it does look like a web. The white dot near the top looks like a spider in the center of a web
Thanks. The head shape seems wrong to me.
wildebeest in front, but went with buffalo in the back right.
I'm going for, uhh, donkey.
Hmm..
Yeah, maybe we need an "aliens" choice?
OK, here it is again, but with companions. Just light, rather than a streaking, flying animal, I think.
This looks like a flying animal went through the picture...
#eland. The dark patches on the back of the forelegs are a give-away.
Can't see any corrugations on this horn. Puzzling.
I've wondered why we don't easily have reference shots easily available....
This looks like an x-ray of my beat-up fingers, however I went with insect over nothing.
The colors (for at least two) are sure characteristic of the Masai.
Thanks; that helps. We did see livestock in Ngorongoro (but not on the caldera floor) while there, and lots in the Olduvai area, as well.
It will be worse next year unless the authorities enforce the rules.We noted a lot of bribery of officials in parks while there in 2012.
Might be a go-away bird.
I'm seeing a number of shots with sheep and goats coming up. I don't think these are zebras anymore.
#superb-starling
Yeah, that makes sense. They seemed too small for zebras, but maybe they're farther off than they seem.
The shot is confusing me. Looks like a wildebeest, some sheep or goats (cattle?) and some large vehicle. Gotta quit the whiskey!
Looks like a buffalo to me.
#aardwolf
#hartebeest
I guessed mongoose, but we can't tell how large it is.
I think I see a #human there, too! ;>)
Odd camera effect on this shot of a #topi. Double flash?
What is this #wildebeest down to, David?
That's what I usually guess with this height & coat color & fur length if it's antelope-like.
Looks as if her collar is visible in frame 3.
#bird-other Looks like some bustard species(?)
Far left is #Thompson's-gazelle. Others probably are, too. (I wish we had tools to blow up images and enhance lighting; copy & use my own.)
#Thompsons-gazelle s
Looks like rain.
I was tempted to say zebra.
Could be. I don't see the leg patches and the head seems too bulky....
Looks like a domestic cow when I enhance the picture, but I can't see the usual shoulder hump.
Missed #bird-other before I clicked finished.
Maybe a superb starling.
I copied it & blew it up; it's a small tree limb.
I guessed jackal, based upon the 3rd shot, since that looks like a black-backed jackal's back. Hmm.
Really impressive rack on this boy!
Thanks. I thought it could be but the facial markings on the one facing don't seem right.
I think I fell for this one last year. Saw it later in daylight; it is a fallen branch.
This one is throwing me but I think they are duiker's.
#porcupine in the daytime
It's a #buffalo.
#saddle-billed_stork
This is a first for me: #wildebeest and at least 1 #buffalo in close proximity. Great comparison of face angles.
I wonder if it might be helpful to have a training shot with no animals in it (and moving vegetation)? We all seem to get caught early on!
Not sure what that small animal is in the far left middle ground, in front of some wildebeests, but I guessed #mongoose.
I can't remember anything there at this trap before; I think you might have a #warthog. One blown up pic shows a "tail" between the "legs".
Yeah, I caught the bird and also thought oxpecker.
David, what is the wide grey blob on the right? Hate to say I guessed #rhino, but I did.
Cool capture! #bat and #jackal
Good day for that comment. And I get the "dead-ant", too!
I wonder if the #elephant opened the camera box?
Went with #reedbuck too, but Popeye the Sailorman is also a possibility.
Oh, good. I guessed baboon, too, given the color at the tip.
Now that's funny!
#serval ?
Thanks!
I think this is a #GuineaFowl but it must be standing on something.
My guess agrees with your first one, maricksu. The dark patch on the ear of of the 3 at back left, plus overall color persuaded me.
Hmm. I think #eland based upon the tail and the color of the hind quarters.
Hare. That's the tail.
These are common. Maybe the flash doesn't go off?
Look at the 3rd picture of buffalo in the samples for your answer!
#GrantsGazelle but I think the one in the foreground is actually a #ThompsonsGazelle rather than a young Grants.
#wildcat I think.
Not much to go on. #aardwolf was my guess.
guessed #lion.
The series is deceptively complex.
Looks like a past near-miss for the #eland (?) at the left.
#porcupine in daylight
Pretty distinctive marking on one of the #zebra here.
No idea if this is an animal even. About the shape of an #aardvark nose. Maybe it's a Mushu.
#zebra rolling?
Looks as if this gazelle just got done running.
This is the trap for at least one of the guide pics for dik-dik.
#stork
#hippo ?
#serval I think. Ear seemed too hairy for a wildcat.
Missed the 2 #guinea_fowl until I hit finish. Oops.
#pregnant?
Maybe a mongoose
I think that is an #insect flying by in one frame.
Total wag: guessed reedbucks.
I thought it was a cheetah's right ear in frame 1. Would a cheetah take a jackal?
Looks like 3-4 of them.
Pretty sure the animal right off the nose of the front #Grants is a #Thompson, not a young Grants, based upon the black tail & rump.
Looks like a porcupine
#wildguess
#wildguess
Looks as if they just knocked down an acacia.
Just saw this shot in daylight. It's a root.
looks like a cheetah
#snake
Well, that's embarrasing! The wide butts fooled me
OK, I'v e never seen this before. #elephants and #buffalo co-mingling?
#nightfire
So there are two species here, or did I just miss the correct species?
Seems domestic. Ears are pointed.
I would guess hornbill, but...?
#white-backed_vulture
Oops! Called this a zorilla, but it's a #porcupine. Still skunked on this one! (Sorry; couldn't pass on that.)
#leopard - rings, not spots; no rings around end of tail.
Wow!
#white-bellied-bustard
This is exposed granite & gneiss, called kopjes. I don't think there is any salt associated with them but they have their own ecology.
I guessed it was a 2nd wildebeest.
Really not much to go on. The only thing I can think of with these colors is a #reedbuck but I can't even figure out how it is standing!
One #baboon is in a tree of this 3-species shot
Camera being jostled, probably by a #wildebeest
Nice combo! #elephant #vervet
I'm betting it was the camera click or flash.
#insect
#bustard s, but not kori
da boss!
wildebeest are a guess based upon apparent eye level.
maybe a weaver
really only half-standing
#buffalo
Enhanced this offline; pretty sure of the giraffes. Can't get any definition on the eye-shine in front of the tallest #giraffe.
Someone else identified this as a hedgehog.
#zebra kicking in frame 3
#unknown Maybe an aardvark.
unusual combination of zebra and buffalo
#insect
I love it when there is just enough to be sure! #secretarybird
Nice nails!
copy & enhance offline; they are #wildebeest
The neatest (cleanest) warthog I've ever seen!
Arrrrooooooo! (I'm a dog!)
White-bellied #Bustard ?
I think the bird in the center may be a white #stork.
#wildebeest
seems too small for an odd angle on a spotted hyena, but otherwise...
lions laying down!
Copy * enhance offline: hippo
Oops, my bad! Should have checked order first.
Ah, heck, it's not a rhino after all. Probably two buffalo.
Just what looks like part of a tail present.
A bat is a rodent, so I would have gone with rodent and the bat hashtag. Nice shot, too!
#unknown
This looks like the top of a banded mongoose, but not enough is visible.
#unknown cat- or dog-like.
Something on the lens that does not move.
*insect
#superb starling
#insect
#insect
#unknown
I think adult wildebeest. Also apparently an ear (lower left) but no horn and seems too far back to belong to main animal.
#insect
Yeah, they need "insect" as a choice!
Reedbuck ("a short fluffy tail") or bushbuck ("white patch under their bushy tail.") Impalas & dik-diks have different tails.
It's a wildebeest. See the vertical stripes on the side near the front?
These are reedbucks. Black dot below the ear; correct tail; forward-curved small horns on the male.
Alien? I can't guess this one accurately and there is only one shot.
#buffalo
Is the buffalo in the foreground licking a youngster?
#steenbok
Life is good!
#unknown
I called it 3 reedbuck (maybe 2) but am unhappy with that. Seems more like a steenbok to me!
Moth?
#insect
I think spiderlags has it -while-tailed mongoose, not rodent. All the mongoose examples have narrow tails, so I had excluded that.
Baboon mother with baby, I think.
#spurfowl
Daytime hippo
marabou stork, probably
Lend me your ear!
Can anyone ID this? I called it a #rodent.
Do you believe in fairies?
Really not sure about this...
Called the spotted patch in the shadow a bird. Might be a tortoise.
Look pregnant, or very full.
hare
serval
Really unsure of this one...
unusual rump striping & tail on 1 zebra
crowned lapwing
a very busy image!
Quite a few critters moving in the far background,but I can't ID them.
Look at the 3rd snapshot. Isn't that a lioness that just stood up to the right of the acacia?
If I could take this back, I'd change to lion. Tail not a shadow.
Thought lion, but the tail shadow in 1 pic looks impala. But, the stripe present on most impalas between the two "hip bones" isn't present.
was going to call this a kori bustard, but the legs aren't right.
There are 2 cameras associated with this sample: Guinea fowl here (1-3); & zebras at another place (4-6.)
collared
this frame leads me to impala
in land rover. could be >1.
looks like cloth
could be a lot of ears, but looks like wildebeast
animal at far left I can not id
This could also be a Grant's gazelle.
something very close but can not id
more animals present, but not able to id
probable. another animal also present, but only eyes visible
some small critter in the center of the picture, maybe
several antelope-like animals, but too far away to id
Just guessing;not a lot to see. Could also be a golden jackal, but that isn't a choice.
apparently a moth is in one frame
There is something mostly below the camera frame. It looks honey-bager-like, but is too blurry to tell.
There appear to be 4 animals in this picture, but are out of the light.
something in lower left very near fg that I can't id.
there may be a cheetah in the center of this pic, resting and looking left, but too hard to tell.
just a wild guess; only the tail tip is visible.
a 3 blind men fable; may be an elephant.
uncertain id; bizarre shots & foggy lens. maybe the camera is tipped?
