For those worried they have found a new sub-species of waterbuck, this is a Nile Lechwe (Mrs Grays Waterbuck old commin name).....

Mrs.Grays waterbuck isn't an old name, it is still in use, especially in germany. Nobody calls that species Nile Lechwe.

I'd be happy to hear the latin name of your Mrs. Grays Waterbuck...?

I've certainly seen Mrs Gray's Waterbuck (or, rather, Mrs Grays Wasserbock) being used in Germanophone countries; but the standard English common name is Nile Lechwe, with Mrs Gray's usually given as a footnote if at all.

Vive la difference!


(I thought the thread could use a third language!)

This looks like a spectacular enclosure - I hope it doesn't get too muddy in winter?
