1007 is a candelabra cactus plant. They get around 40 feet tall.
1009 is my wife, who took many of the 35mm shots. :-)
The blackish pictures are actually pictures taken at night.
You might need to turn up your brightness to see them.
1069 and friends is a gennet, a kind of cat, photographed in
infrared, hence the odd color.
They feed him at the Ark, so he comes around at night.
I believe 1059 is a blesbok, which is a blue/purple antelope.
(Hard to tell with that lighting, I know.)

Kenya and Tanzania, Summer 2000.
Stills from digital video camera.
640x480 JPEG, mostly unretouched.
Missing numbers are due to chopping
out non-animal pictures (such as
scenery, plant life, etc.)

Released to the Public Domain,
but I would appriciate hearing about
commercial use of the photos.

Defenitely not a blesbok. This is a bushbuck. Smaller than a blesbok. The shape of the face is that of a bushbuck and also the shape of the horns. There is also no indication of a blaze on the forehead.

I concur that this is in fact a Bushbuck.

The kéwel (Tragelaphus scriptus) is a small to medium-sized antelope widespread in west and central Africa. Formerly and alongside the imbabala it was generically known as the bushbuck, however, it has since been found to be a species in its own right, with a separate geographic distribution.
