Comment: This has only just been added to a very over-illustrated article, and is, it would seem, somewhat redundant to the lead image. I also note that the horns are not very impressive on this animal. J Milburn (talk) 21:35, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Yeah, both seem to be male - what's new here? D&R? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing to this excellent image. Its EV comes from showing also the oxpecker which this one doesn't. I've never seen an Impala with an oxpecker and this one shows four! What's new here? You see the uropygium, hocks and the hairs above the hooves. --Ikiwaner (talk) 16:54, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would support moving this to the lead image int the article. It is clearly better than the current lead --Muhammad(talk) 23:46, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support one of the more interesting species that I have seen at FP.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:42, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great shot. Focus and aperture are persuasive. Would like to see more of this quality. --Peter Weis (talk) 21:06, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support good EV. Current FP shows some other features not shown in this image and vice versa --Muhammad(talk) 23:46, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Why does this chap have such small horns? All our other images have much larger horns... J Milburn (talk) 10:59, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The horns keep growing throughout their sexual maturity, so I'm guessing this one is just a bit younger. Having horns, though, it would still be an adult afaik. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:36, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent quality, good EV, and a pleasing appeal. Clementina talk 01:04, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
