•  Info The largest antelope in Asia. Quites likes to visit agricultural land like this potato field. Seen practising its La vache qui rit impersonation. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 10:27, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support -- Charles (talk) 10:27, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support High quality image.--Peulle (talk) 10:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support per Peulle. There were a lot of insects in the air! Did you have any protection from them? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:32, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

We use 50% DEET in mosquito-rich malaria areas where we really don't want to get bitten and otherwise use Equine America's Fly Repel Gel which is made for horses and comes in a huge 500ml pot costing ~ £12 and is the most brilliant substance you can buy. Charles (talk) 13:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Support What a huge body for such a small head -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:46, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

• Promise I didn't Photoshop it! Charles (talk) 17:57, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

• Not yet but you should adjust a decent size now :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:28, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Support --Michielverbeek (talk) 17:25, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support The face makes it. I'd have cropped a little more tightly, but I defer to Charles' judgement if he likes it more like this (and obviously he's not alone). I do agree that it helps us understand the animal's environment more (God, it looks hot!) Daniel Case (talk) 19:49, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support - per Peulle -- P999 (talk) 20:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Support The head is too small, this must be a photo montage --Photographer 00:05, 25 October 2018 (UTC) I feel sincerely ashamed and totally ignorant of the nature of the antelopes and I want to apologize you publicly, this is not an excuse but for me it is very difficult to believe that there is such a strange animal. When I can, I try not to see the author of the image because that predisposes me positively or negatively to the photo, if I had known it was Charles, I would never have doubted him. All this said, After having made a search and seen your video, I realized my mistake. It is as if someone had placed a head of a small cow, perhaps a genetic modification of the same nature. --Photographer 00:32, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks very much for your apology. Charles (talk) 08:55, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment Of course it's not a photomontage Photographer and Boothsift. Please withdraw your allegations and apologise. Watch a video like [this one] before insulting me. Charles (talk) 07:48, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

• Nature is too eccentric. Please nominate dogs or cats only. No special elephant like this. The trunk is missing  :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:35, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

• Hmpf, can't you see that it's the last surviving Sauropoda. ;) --Cart (talk) 10:41, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

• Actually, I can confirm that this particular species of antelope does indeed have a small head. It may look like it's fake but it is in reality a strangeness of nature. Take a look at other images of the species and you will see that it's true.--Peulle (talk) 07:53, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Photographer--Boothsift (talk) 03:47, 25 October 2018 (UTC). The raison of this negative vote is not valid, please Boothsift, change your vote. --Photographer 00:32, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
