Alcelaphus caama (Red Hartebeest)

Description:

Male Red Hartebeest (Alcelaphus caama syn: Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) in Bontebok National Park near Swellendam, Western Cape, South Africa. Photographed on 18 June 2012.This animal shos the typical characteristic of the shoulders being much higher than the rump.There is some confusion as to whether this is a true species or a subspecies in the Alcelaphus buselaphus complex. I have followed what EOL have appeared to accept at this stage.www.inaturalist.org/observations/52623656
