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.

Male Nyala photo taken in Sabi Sands South Africa. The Nyala is amedium sized antelope with males weighing approximately 250 lbs and females 160. Only the male has horns. On our first trip we disn't see any of these animals, on our (10-08) trip we saw several, undortunately the females were deep in the bush and made for poor photos. Kruger Park
