  1. Sable antelope

  2. I think that's a Zebu?

  3. I think they are called kudu

  4. East African Oryx   its a subspecies of the gemsbok

  5. It's not a kudu, they do not have stripes, I've seen many pics of antelopes but not 1 that looks like this. I was just scanning wildlife pictures and couldn't find any resembling your pic.

    It looks more like a waterbuck but, then again the stripes on the underside do not match any pics I have seen of waterbucks.

  6. It is definitely a gemsbok (Oryx gazella), also called the southern oryx. I have seen them in the wild, and eaten their meat!

    Here's an image:

    In response to some of your other answers, a kudu looks like this:

    And a waterbuck like this:

    And a sable antelope like this:

  7. Definitely an oryx. You can find out a lot about them on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oryx .

    More specifically, I think it's an East African Oryx. Compare the pictures!

  8. I believe it is an oryx

  9. You mean the picture labelled "East African Oryx"?  What did you think it was?
