Here is a freak Impala we saw at the Lake Manyara Park after our safari in Simanjaro. PH Brian VanBlerk said he has never seen one like it ever

Very interesting...

A very poor man's buffalo?

That is pretty unusual.

I have seen some with nearly straight horns (and shot one like that) that the PH told me was needing to be shot as they will tend to kill the other Rams when they fight. I guess this is the opposite.

I believe that is an East African spindly horned bharal.

You sure that's not an Aoudad????

I'd take that trophy in a heartbeat!

Me too.

Its a rare example of a Robert's Impala.

Could be a female, sometimes Kudu cows grow horns an they also look different .

Or a Barbary sheep a came a visiting

Was going to suggest it may be a female with a hormone problem. Magnum had a writeup a year or two ago on buck with funny horns (sorry guys, it was a while ago) and they were, as far as I can remember some sort of weird in-between gender - eg females with no uterus, etc ...

Sorry, it was a while ago.

Just watch out, some South African game ranchers are monitoring this thread as well...

Another species entry for SCI ?????

Good drop and spread but the boss looks a little soft.

Nice drop handle bars for a Harley?

I was thinking female too, Dave
