Bububu or Mandleve

Wild guess ... Mambrrr???

Phelwane

Not Bububu, most definitely NOT Mandleve! , Mambrrr or Phelwana.

Mashagadzi

Bakoor perhaps
This must be a secret one she keeps in her garden

Freda, I wish my garden was in a place where I could "keep" one!

Mashagadzi it is. I deliberately picked a pic showing him from a different angle, simply to prove my point that the ivory tells you a lot, but not everything. Especially when trying to ID from a photo.

Here's the undoctored pic plus another one from the same series. Taken December 2004 in riverbed near Shingwedzi camp.

cool. i got him right

next...

Shawu!!

well that was quick


you're pretty good at this

Something is not right about the photo tho'... have you by chance mirrored the image?? Thus changing reference points that are supposed to be on the left side, to ref points on the right??

i also thought it came out looking odd. i must have done something

You've definitely "done something"!
For a nice tutorial on the differences between the right right and the right left, start reading here.

Just a reminder that it has been suggested/recommended that people please wait 24 hours before acknowledging the correct answer(s) to a quizz in order to allow those members in other time zones or/and with work schedules that don't allow them to sneak into the forum (and yes, some people work on weekends ) the opportunity to participate. Please??? (Allowing ONE minute between the correct answer and the acknowledgement really does prevent the rest of us from participating )

Quite Right, arks!

(I've been waiting more than a month with my quiz now, taking no chances...)
