jandd86, I think the pictures are of Nyalas.  They look very similar to the kudu.  Matter of fact, it was yesterday or the day before that Pieter showed us a Nyala and I thought it was a kudu.  I looked them up and the Nyala are a little different - but not much.  If you go to the mammal database and look the two up, you will see the difference.  That's what I had to do.

Thanks Bob, but these were definitely Kudu.  Saw them just before they started fighting, had the very long, very curly horns and double checked on the database. 

Hi, all..Dump!  I'm on...heehee. 

I could be wrong, but they don't look like the kudus we see at NK.  The kudus we see at NK don't have the distinctive white line down their backs like the Nyala do.  The pictures you posted look just like the one Pieter called a Nyala on the drive.  Also, there was a herd of Nyala at the Djuma watering hole today.  That's when I learned what the female Nyalas look like.

Goodmorning/Evening to all!

What animal did we just hear?

Kudus have spiral horns.. Nyala horns are straighter.(only the males)

Good morning all

I've had a bad go of things with Africam as of late, but Pieter always brings a smile to my face..

Greetings one and all - that was a baboon alarm calling ME!  From the sounds of it we have lions in the vicinity!

Great sunrise pic.  Hi, all.

hello to everyone

Beautiful sunrise !!!

Hi everyone!  Is that you, Lea????  I didn't recognize you in your new outfit!

That was what caught my eye Yomama. I've seen the nyala males before and noticed that these horns were most definitely spiral, not at all like I had seen on the nyala, that's why I looked it up in database. Now I'm no expert, but that was the conclusion I came to.  Maybe Pieter can clear it up later.

At the moment Gareth is shooting an Impala every 2nd morning before game drive so by the time he gets up and does the dirty deed his guests are sipping coffee and munching muffins - then he has to have a shower before he gets to them so his day is being extended somewhat.  At least the cheetah gets fed!

For the first time in what I think was a month, I finally got a seat Kudos to the team for getting the 1000 slots!
