Seems too fat to be a horse or cow. Shadow looks trunk-ish. Size is only 5 feet long. Possible young one. Color looks right.

EDIT: A placemark would help, LOL. Im such a noob.
Thanks Tek for the heads up.

Now that ive added the placemark and looked again, I can see the head better and it has black horns, which would make it a Oxen.
I messed this post all up, lmao!

Hey all, look, a rare cowish creature! *yawn*.

It must be an African cow and possibly female. But maybe not.
You are right, sometimes streaming confuses us....

Possibly of more interest. Why has such small and remote area been provided in such high resolution. Not complaining, quite fascinating really.

There are many. These are photos by Michael Fay taken from the airplane Megaflyover. Check your National Geographic Magazine layer to see all these photos. You can get them by the red plane icons on the GE.

About to be tended by the person approaching from 40 feet to the south east.
Cheers.
