Hartebees


There are only 2 of these wagon ambulances left, they were used during the Anglo Boer War (1899-1902) Mahatma Ghandi worked as a stretcher bearer at this time. The shape of these horns are heart shaped so the boerties called this creature a Hartebees. I took the photo of it on the game drive on Saturday and found the horns at the Plumari museum.
