    Nice comparison with the Topi gazelle species:

    Topi pair closeup, Serengeti plains, Tanzania Our first closeup encounter with Topis. They look a lot like Hartebeests, yet have a darker face and slightly different horns. Africa,Damaliscus korrigum,Serengeti Central,Serengeti National Park,Serengeti area,Tanzania,Topi

      @Sunil: it's not that easy for this species, as both sexes have horns. Without a view on the sexual organs, the only way I know of to distinguish them is by size: females are slightly smaller, lighter and have thinner horns than males. Posted 11 years ago
