To be more precise ... it is a subspecies of the Eland, not found in Southern Africa, but rather in the Northern areas such as Somalia.

Thanks for the clue..

Also called Patterson's eland ?

WELL DONE!!!

Sorry guys for the long delay...

Okay try this one..

What variable determines a crocodiles sex at birth??

Temperature?

Yep I agree - temprature

well done but okay now give me the temperature for male and female

If the temperature inside the nest is below 31.7 °C (89.1 °F), or above 34.5 °C (94.1 °F), the offspring will be female. Males can only be born if the temperature is within that narrow 5-degree range.

Zippy that is only partialy correct.. for Females anything below +- 25 C amd for male anyhting below 35C but anyhting higher than 35 C then there are mutations..(albinos and so on)..

Okay what bird legs are white when you look at it but are acyualy black, and why are they white?

Blue Crane?

Marabou Stork.

It defecates on its legs to keep cool.

Both? Marabou and Crane?

I agree with Imberbe. The personal hygiene of the marabou is (I hope!) unique.

Also agree .......Marabou storks

Marabou's it is but actualy for the oil,it rubs his legs over its feathers....

Okay another crocodile one for 2 points(all answers required)....
How fast can a Crocodile swim and run, and how many eye lids does a crocodile have??

Can swim ver 15kph in one instance, and perhaps faster for
short bursts.
Can run :Most crocodiles can achieve speeds of around 12 to
14 kph for short periods
Also, they have one pair of eyes, with two pairs of eyelids: one regular pair, and an inner eyelid that is transparent called a nictitating membrane, used to protect their eyes when underwater. Sometimes it will be said that they have three eyelids, because you can count the regular eyelids as two, top and bottom, and the nictitating membrane as number three.
