bwanamrmShoot first and ask questions later?
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

L. David KeithI make him to be about 7.5 inches, which if he is an East African Oribi, that would place him #1 in Rowland Ward. FYI: current record is 7 inches. LDK

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

fairgameI would say eight inches as Oribi measure 4 1/2 at tip of ear.
Biggest I have ever seen.

Gracious little things - just for a comparison - the only one I managed to get a pic of at Doma in Zim is just on par with tip of ears i.e. less than 1/2 of yours there:
