Distinguising Steenbok from Impala from Reedbok from others?
I'm looking at the photo's in the database (thank you!) but I'm having some difficulty picking out features that would distinguish one grazer from another unless they're side-by-side (and even then, I can't pick features for comparison). Anyone? Are there facial markings that are decidedly different? Tails? Backs? Eyes? Other? Example, when I saw the Kudu this morning, I thought it was one of the Impala until I looked it up in the database and saw the striped markings on his back. Thank you!
