African Antelope

This gallery is composed of a multitude of African antelope, from the klipspringer to the kudu. During our (10/09) trip, we were able to increase the overall quantity, as well as the quality, of the photos in this group. We now have shots of a male and female nyala, Gemsbok, springbok, black faced impala and red hartebeest. It is with the nyala that the reference to sheep changes to that of cattle - the male nyala being much larger than the female (250lbs versus 160) is normally referred to as a bull and the female as an ewe. With the antelope larger then the nyala, such as the waterbuck, the male is a bull and the female a cow. Smaller, such as the impala, the male is a ram and the female is a ewe with the babies being lambs. Confusing isn't it? You can also probably have an argument over where the cut off is. In any case, we hope you enjoy.
