Animal Photos From South Africa
Hello,
I think there is a small mistake in two of the four Tsessebe pictures. The two which have only the annotation "Tau - Tsessebe" are in my opinion not Tsessebe but Red Hartebeest, Alcelaphus buselaphus, in German Kuhantilope. Their horns go straight up, whereas the Tsessebe horns are more curved outside (Tsessebe = Damaliscus lunatus, in German Leierantilope or Halbmondantilope). I do not know their relation to the East African species. Manfred Inge Mueller schrieb: Hans-Georg Michna schrieb: Tsessebe antelopes look similar to what they call Topi in east Africa.

I do not know their relation to the East African species. Inge, Manfred, thanks for the good information! The antelopes in the photos were dark brown, while the east African (Coke's) hartebeest is light brown (see http://www.michna.com/kenya2004/images/p1040625.jpg and http://www.michna.com/kenya2004/images/p1040629.jpg, both out of http://www.michna.com/kenya2004/, approximately in the middle). The topi looks like this (see http://www.michna.com/kenya2004/images/p1040563.jpg and http://www.michna.com/kenya2003/images/p1020667.jpg, and here's your topi at sunset: http://www.michna.com/kenya2003/images/p1020722.jpg, and more topis: http://www.michna.com/kenya2003/images/p1020750.jpg, http://www.michna.com/kenya2003/images/p1020840.jpg).

Thanks for the info - the animals in those pictures do look different from
the others. I was told Tsessebe are quite common in Madikwe and that there are Red Hartebeeste but they are rarely seen. I'll check further and amend the descriptions. (I have already sent this message once, but it hasn't appeared - sorry if it eventually appears twice) Cheers Michael
