What is that :-? A snare fixed under the skin? If yes, it must be very old O-/

MANY years ago I found myself in Buffalo Springs Nature Reserve in Northern Kenya where I spotted an Impala with monstrous horns - the only record I have of him is on a taped video. The East African Impala is slightly larger than the KNP impala with males carrying quite big horns as standard.)

Now I have found this photo on internet which shows a impala with horns close to the one I have seen.
(photographer unknown and sighting probably in Uganda)

:shock: but they look almost too big to be good for anything or maybe it is just a question of tactic ;-)
