  2. If you could have avoided the spiny bush by changing slightly your angle of capture, then the Topi would have looked more beautiful in its habitat., I do understand that there might have been few challenges.., Never the less, Its a good shot indeed. Posted 11 years ago
    1. You're right Sunil, it is partly blocked. The reason was our position in the car. Posted 11 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.
