Yes I think it is also because they eat the same type of grass, but not sure?

Anybody know?

Coat patterns

1. I have a reddish coat with white markings. I have a distinctive white band on my throat. Who am I?

Female bushbuck.

Note :I reply fast to this quiz because there aren't a lot of responses, unlike the catz quiz.

Correct

2. I am mostly black, but I also have a little white.

If this quizz covers all kinds of animal thingies (trying to find my feet in the quizzes ) I'll guess the Rinkhals?

In the handbook I'm using there is a photo of a black Springbok! selectively bred by farmers because they fetch high prices at game auctions.

Fish eagle
Sable
Porcupine
Striped polecat

Was looking for sable, thanks Sonbesie. The Rinkals would also be correct, yes. Also Striped Polecat but not Fish Eagle, that has brown as well.

SC, that is very interesting... melanistic I wonder?

3. My body is mostly covered in brown and grey, but also has black and a touch of pink.

Dark chanting goshalk

Good guess, its a bird , but not a goshawk.

What about a GiAnT eAgLe OwL ?

Very close, but not quite that owl.

wild guess here

Kudu

Sorry Sonbesie!! Have neglected to re-read my question on my return and I thought it was a Spotted Eagle-Owl. You are indeed correct!

Before I post a new q, I do believe this rather embarrased kitty needs to hide for a while.



timbo, where did you get that answer from?

Dont ask me? I said it was a wild guess. Didn't read the full question.

3. The coat is brown with black tactile hairs scattered amoungst the shorter hair. My fur is greyish brown is moister areas, buff in arid areas.
