If I have anything on my conscience, it is certainly not the remorse of having reduced the supply of wildebeests.
[Drawing: _Wildebeest With the White Man Only Eight Miles Away_] In our last few days' shooting out on the Athi Plains we saw perhaps fifty or seventy-five of these great bison-like animals.

Their bodies and legs and tails are slender and graceful, like those of a horse, but the heads are heavy-featured, heavy-horned and heavy-bearded.

They are wild and when they see you a mile or so away will start and run for the nearest vanishing point, usually arriving there long before you do.
The foregoing seven species of animals are the ones most commonly seen in East Africa.

Perhaps something about some of the less common ones will have some instructive value..
