    1. Thank you Joost. It's actually a discovery for me as well. Despite having overlooked my total Tanzania set several times, this one caught my attention only just now. Posted 11 years ago
  2. An oldie but a goodie - it gives the real feel of the Serengeti. Posted 7 years ago

Topis are a highly social and fast antelope species of the genus ''Damaliscus''. The vernacular name "topi" applies not only to the species but also to two subspecies ''D. k. jimela'' and ''D. k. topi'', while the name korrigum or tiang applies to the subspecies ''D. k. korrigum''. Along with the Bangweulu Tsessebe this species was formerly included in the common tsessebe. The species is to be found in the savannas, semi-deserts, and floodplains of sub-Saharan Africa.
