Thoughts that nudge my mind, posted spasmodically when time and energy permit, lest they escape out of my ears and are lost forever.

Small Horny Ungulates
In the main hallway of the Las Vegas Natural History Museum are a number of glass cases displaying small ungulates. Y'know, deer ... from Africa, mostly. All of 'em have tiny sets of horns, and to be truthful, if a bunch of various species came bouncing around me at the same time, I couldn't tell a Suni from a Dik Dik from a Grysbok. But that's okay. Because the museum did the identifying for me. Check them out:
Suni
Oribi
Klipspringer
Steenbok
Salt's Dik Dik
Blue Duiker
Harvey's Red Duiker
Royal Antelope
Cape Grysbok
Tomorrow, the last of the Las Vegas Museum pictures. Tomorrow, we visit Egypt.
