What Animal is this???

[Kellylynn322]

Can someone please help me? I took this picture on the Kilimanjaro Safari in November, now I want to put it in an album and label it. Only problem is I have NOOOOOOOOOOOO idea what it is and can't seem to find it anywhere.


So any of the CMs have an idea or anyone else with a picture of this animal know. Thanks!

That animal is a Patterson's Eland Taurotragus oryx. I have the very helpful AK Field Guide Book

Taurotragus oryx is the scientific name.

What a cutie, too (I think all animals are cute, though, (except for insects, arachnids, and most other invertebrates)) :lookaroun... :lol:
