Tim May 18 Jul 2010 I cannot get used to calling this species black wildebeest; they’ll always be white-tailed gnu to me.

Oddly, if I'm referring to Connochaetes in general I always say wildebeest. But the species are always Brindled Gnu and White-tailed Gnu. Nice photo!

P P Pertinax 19 Jul 2010 He's very photogenic. I took a similar shot last year but standing still- I like the action in this one. Hopefully the calf will do well- they are more settled now than Newquay's pair were when their calf was born.

Zambar 19 Jul 2010 This is the bull, Rooney; he often stands and stares at visitors from the back, and though it looks aggressive he's actually a big wuss. The female Orana is hand-reared and approaches people more, but she's still quite feisty apparently.

He's nothing like his predecessor in that case- it was more like a Spanish Fighting Bull. Click to expand... Click to expand...
