It's a Blue Wildebeest -- but who's counting?


When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun.

In places where the colors are not that dramatically different, just note that the Black's horns sweep forward, Blue's to the side. Hey Frank M...everybody was right...you're NOT that good looking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frank, you're the one on the right? Is the right in front or in back? We can't tell! Big Grin

The horns are from a Blue, the tail is from a Blue, the face is a Blue and the body is a Blue (too large). Must be a Blue.

I tried to PM the guy and tell him it was a Blue.

He said all his paperwork says it is a Black......the PH said it was a Black.......so it was a Black.

Sent him a few links......

Weird that his paperwork was wrong.

I wonder if the Black was more expensive????

That was my though as well. As a general rule the Black Wille is more expencive that the common Blue Gnu. I think the guy got taken!

I guess if it hadn't turned up in the consignment the agent would have had to try to cheer him up by telling him, no gnus is good gnus!

It may have also been a matter of quota. Perhaps the blue were used up and he only had quota for the black.
