Is that an old female elephant going one way, and a big lion going the other? Are the tracks 24 hours old? Whatcha think?

Retreever, I agree with you. I only see Grant's gazelle and what looks like fringe-eared oryx.

Nice photos.

As the question was raised:
There ar eonly Grant's Gazelles and Frynge eared Oryx in that one picture.

I find interesting the one of the wildebbest; it looks as if someone tore his horns off. In actual fact, what happens is that the boss gets' infested with small ants who eat away at the boss/scalp. The irritation caused by this drives the poor beast mad and he continously bangs and scrapes his head against trees to relieve the itchiness/pain (?) and in this poor guys case, his horns fell off Frowner I have found this on old buffalo as well where the entire horns seem to be totally loose from the head with ants scurring everywhere. Immagine the torture?

There are a couple of decent Grant's in that herd, but the area the picture was taken, Lake Natron, consistently produces much better.
