Western sitatunga : Whipsnade : 25 Aug 2017

Tragelaphus spekii gratus
Male, currently in with greater kudu, impala and Nile lechwe in Holly Frindle Paddock.
 
Like the photo! When did the Lechwe and Sitatunga move into the Impala/Kudu paddock? How many Lechwe are there?
 
Thanks @ajmcwhipsnade!

I don't know exactly when the lechwe moved. @AdamD601 [URL="https://www.zoochat.com/community/threads/whipsnade-zoo-2017.466070/page-5#post-1014030"]reported in the main thread[/URL] on 11 Mar 2017 that they'd moved across to the small paddock adjoining this one. I visited in April but don't recall seeing them here. On both my visits in August I saw only three. Also just three impala.

There's just this single adult male sitatunga in this paddock - again I don't know when he moved. The other sitatunga are still in with the white rhino / blesbok / roan antelope.
