[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Don't know what kind of antelope this is but I took this at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, in San Diego, CA last summer.

Antelopes belong to the bovine family, split-hoofed, some are horned, and generally have a social life (live in massive herds, groups, pairs or alone); there are over 30 genera with over 90 species. They are obviously herbivores, although some eat insects, small mammals and birds and have complex stomachs to ferment plant material.

Goodness...this looks like an Antelope /Camel morph! I had to laugh when I read the title of this image. Very nice capture...I like it even though it is a bit disturbing to see this odd animal as it really does look like a cross between an antelope and a camel! :0)

A graceful looking creature Ken. (One of our South African friends is bound to know it.
The sharp triangulation of the head and ears is very powerful,especially on that slender neck.
(I wonder if its a gazelle or a something-bok?
Its a good photo anyway. Cheers, Steve.
