Deer looking thingies!

There are so many different species of deer looking thingies here! We got to see quite a few!

This little guy is a springbok which is often called a gazelle by silly foreigners (like me). :O) It was fun to catch him in frame with a Wildabeast in the background.


This guy is REALLY little... he only stands about 18 inches tall and that's being generous. He's called a Dik-dik. Hims is just a little feller!


Now we're getting to the big(ger) boys. This Impala's antlers are probably 2 feet tall each! Small bodied, but beautiful!


This Topi is about the size of a mule deer and is apparently one of the favorite snacks of the cheetah... we almost saw a cheetah hunt one of the smaller Topis! If only!!!


Our guide said this is an Eland. They are really big... similar in size to a small elk.
