Mega Man Legends 3 for the Nintendo 3DS, which was officially canned in mid-July, is canceled for good, says Capcom.
Website Kotaku spoke with the Japan-based developer to ask about plans for the game, and despite the strong push by fans (such as a Facebook fan page) to have the game released, Capcom spokesman Brian Keltner said, that while they are aware of the fans' campaign to bring the game back into development, and they value that feedback, the game "has officially ceased without plans to resume development."
Ouch. It's Project Rainfall all over again. The plus side, is that Capcom didn't hint at some big special announcement, then offer a half-hearted PR response a-la Nintendo.
Currently, the Facebook petition for the game has 37,119 Likes and it continues to grow, but they are a long way from their goal of 100,000. The recent news does not seem to have stopped fans as of the time of this writing.
Even at 100,000 users, one has to ask if this would have made a difference. Clicking a Thumbs Up icon on Facebook doesn't necessarily equal a purchase. Capcom knows this, and gamers know this. If even a fraction of those people purchase the game, it's clearly not enough to get the higher-ups at Capcom paying attention.

The Anderson County Board of Education unanimously approved a draft facilities plan that includes $23 million in proposed spending during its meeting Monday night.
A mixture of priorities and wish list, the meat of the plan focuses on the next four years and includes spending $700,000 for six additional classrooms at the yet-to-be-opened new Early Childhood Center; a $5 million renovation to the high school and a $2.5 million renovation to the middle school.
Those projects are slated to be done between now and 2014.
Anderson County Republicans did as expected in Tuesday's primary and overwhelmingly carried incumbent state Rep. Kim King (R-Harrodsburg) and congressional hopeful Andy Barr (R-Lexington) into their fall races.
Democrats, however, appeared to send a strong message of disapproval to President Obama, who lost badly — 55 to 45 percent — to the word "uncommitted" on the local ballot.
"Uncommitted" received 854 votes, easily outpolling Obama, who received 703.
This week's edition of The Anderson News will be delivered to mail subscribers Thursday instead of Wednesday, due to a malfunction at the paper's printing plant in Shelbyville.
Single copies are also delayed, but will be in their normal rack locations by around noon Wednesday.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Gordon commits to Transy
Anderson County High School senior Lowell Gordon has committed to play collegiate basketball at Transylvania University.
One of the state's leading 3-point shooters last year, Gordon hit on 40.6 percent of his bombs during the 2011-12 season. He connected on 80 home run balls over Anderson's 30-game schedule. He aveared scoring 10.6 points a game.
In the classroom, Gordon has a grade point average exceeding 3.9 on the 4.0 scale.
LEXINGTON – The old sports adage saying it is difficult to beat the same opponent twice applies to tennis as well.
Anderson County's girls' doubles team of Amanda Wampler and her younter sister, Hannah, found that out at the state tennis tournament last Thursday.
Just eight days after defeating the South Oldham team of Jennifer Liu and Sarah Hawes in the Eighth Region tournament, the Wampler sisters could not get enough going to defeat the same team again. Liu and Hawes advanced with a 6-3, 6-4 win.
Baseball is a strange game at times. Such was life around the Anderson County Bearcats last week.
Appearing to be heading into the post-season on an uptick the Bearcats turned in what coach L.W. Barnes described as a trio of duds, only to come back with one of the most impressive performances of the season as they defeated 16th-ranked Bullitt East in the home finale last Thursday.
Pinch-runner Josh Brown scored when Bullitt East botched a possible double play ball in the bottom of the seventh for the 7-6 victory.
In the final week of the regular season of high school softball, Anderson County kept showing signs it could be a team to contend with as the post-season tournaments started on Monday.
The Lady Bearcats put up a pair of home-field wins before closing out the campaign at the Boyle County Invitational Tournament.
Anderson County hit the bullseye at the National Archery in the Schools Program national tournament, held at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville on May 11-12.
The Anderson County Middle School team placed second in its division, just behind Trigg County Middle School of Cadiz. Anderson scored 3,359 points, 35 behind Trigg County.
The Anderson County High School team was fourth nationally, with a 3,398 score. Trigg County also won that division, followed by Maysville High of Zanesville, Ohio and Logan Hocking High from Logan, Ohio.
LOUISVILLE -- Things are just different when the stage is the biggest.
Just ask Anderson County track performers Tiffany Yount and Cameron Robinson. They made the Class 3A state track meet, held Saturday at the University of Louisville's Cardinal Park, but neither was particularly happy with the result.
LEXINGTON – This time, there was little else Ty Glover and T.J. Pham could do.
The magic that had carried them in a surprising run through the Eighth Region and to a berth in the state tennis tournament suddenly came to an end last Thursday. The DuPont Manual team of Sam and Aaron Stromberg saw to that.
The Stromberg brothers turned back everything that Glover and Pham could muster on the way to a 6-1, 6-2 win in the first round of the tournament at the University of Kentucky.
"They were the best we have played," said Pham, a junior.

Gallerie dell'Accademia information
Venice's historic gallery traces the development of Venetian art from the 14th to 18th centuries, with works by Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese and Canaletto among others. The former Santa Maria della Carità convent complex housing the collection maintained its serene composure for centuries until Napoleon installed his haul of Venetian art trophies here in 1807. Since then there's been non-stop visual drama inside its walls.
The grand gallery you enter upstairs features vivid early works that show Venice's precocious flair for colour and drama. Case in point: Jacobello Alberegno's Apocalypse (Room 1) shows the whore of Babylon riding a hydra, babbling rivers of blood from her mouth. At the opposite end of the emotional spectrum is Paolo Veneziano's Coronation of Mary (Room 1), where Jesus bestows the crown on his mother with a gentle pat on the head to the tune of an angelic orchestra.
UFO arrivals seem imminent in the eerie, glowing skies of Carpaccio's lively Crucifixion and Glorification of the Ten Thousand Martyrs of Mount Ararat (Room 2), which offers an intense contrast to Giovanni Bellini's quietly elegant Madonna and Child between St Catherine and Mary Magdalene (Room 4). Further along, Room 10 features paintings by Tintoretto and Titian, as well as Paolo Veronese's monumental Feast in the House of Levi , originally called Last Supper until Inquisition leaders condemned him for showing dogs, drunkards, dwarves, Muslims and Reformation-minded Germans cavorting with Apostles.
While rooms 12 to 19 are occasionally used for temporary exhibitions, it's in Room 12 that you'll find Giambattista Piazzetta's saucy, fate-tempting socialite in Fortune Teller . Yet even her lure is no match for the glorious works gracing Room 20. Among them is Gentile Bellini's Procession in St Mark's Square , which offers an intriguing view of Venice's iconic piazza before its 16th-century makeover. Room 21 is no less captivating, home to Vittore Carpaccio's St Ursula Cycle, a series of nine paintings documenting the saint's ill-fated life
The original convent chapel (Room 23) is a serene showstopper fronted by a Bellini altarpiece. Sharing the space is Giorgione's highly charged La Tempesta (The Storm). Art historians still debate the meaning of the mysterious nursing mother and passing soldier with a bolt of summer lightning: is this an expulsion from Eden, an allegory for alchemy, or a reference to Venice conquering Padua in the War of Cambria?
Ornamental splendours were reserved for the Scuola della Carita's boardroom, the newly restored Sala dell'Albergo . Board meetings would not have been boring here, under a lavishly carved ceiling and facing Antonio Vivarini's wrap-around 1441–50 masterpiece, filled with fluffy-bearded saints keeping a watchful eye on boardroom proceedings.
Titian closes the Accademia with his touching 1534–39 Presentation of the Virgin . Here, a young, tiny Madonna trudges up an intimidating staircase while a distinctly Venetian crowd of onlookers point to her example – yet few of the velvet- and pearl-clad merchants offer alms to the destitute mother, or even feed the begging dog.

No Rx Aceon
No rx aceon Puggle dogs are considered hybrids. No rx aceon This basically means they are a cross between two different purebreds. No rx aceon In the Puggle case, no rx aceon this would be a Beagle and a Pug. No rx aceon The Puggle can also be referred to as a crossbreed, no rx aceon even though this term can also refer to a mongrel - a dog that has only one known purebred in their genes.
No rx aceon Unlike mongrels or mutts that are usually the result of an unintentional crossbreed, no rx aceon hybrid dogs breed, no rx aceon whether they began as mutts or not, no rx aceon is purposely bred to create a specific breed type. No rx aceon Hybrid dogs like the Puggle are known as "designer dogs". No rx aceon Designer dogs are popular hybrids that have been purposely created using two specific purebred dogs.
No rx aceon Of course, no rx aceon not all "designer dogs" are bred for the purpose of suiting the latest fad. No rx aceon The Labradoodle is a good example of this. No rx aceon Unlike breeding a Beagle and Pug for fashion, no rx aceon a Labrador and Standard Poodle were initially bred to create a hypoallergenic guide dog. No rx aceon In other words, no rx aceon the original cross breeding that resulted in the Labradoodle was intentional, no rx aceon and is still trying to be perfected so it can be recognized as a purebred dog.
No rx aceon Although most hybrids are selectively bred to create a breed that features all of the great characteristics of its two parents, no rx aceon sometimes there is no actual thought process in the creation of such breeds. No rx aceon For instance, no rx aceon although Puggle dogs are very sweet and sociable dogs, no rx aceon they were bred for no other purpose than to be a family pet.
No rx aceon They are not hypoallergenic and they are still prone to Pug breathing problems, no rx aceon which can be made worse because of their love for hunting that has been passed to them through their Beagle genes. No rx aceon For reasons such as this, no rx aceon many purebred breeders argue that designer dog breeding is irresponsible.
No rx aceon Despite what some breeders may think, no rx aceon the fact of the matter is that hybrid dogs are very popular, no rx aceon and often make excellent family pets and generally tend to be very healthy and happy breeds.
No rx aceon It is also important to point out that a hybrid dog is not considered a "true breed" due to the fact that they don't have an official breed standard. No rx aceon For this reason, no rx aceon they are not recognized by any national kennel club. No rx aceon In addition, no rx aceon not being a true breed means that each Puggle litter produced will be different each time.
No rx aceon Nonetheless, no rx aceon even though Puggle dogs may not have a "true" standard to their name, no rx aceon the fact remains that this special hybrid is in high demand, no rx aceon and is loved by many. No rx aceon After all, no rx aceon who says a dog needs an official standard to be considered a great pal and a one-of-a-kind friend.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

So I was wondering... are there any other ladies out there that have "breast tissue" in their armpits that swell up when milk comes in? Well my breasts have been feeling like if my milk is about to come in already and from previous pregnancies ive known about this milk producing tissue. But it just gets worst and worst with every single LO to the point that its sooo sore now before i even have her. With my first DS i didnt think anything of it, with my second it bothered me to where i asked the dr about it in my follow up and he literally injected a needle to try to drain it and discovered it was milk! so with my third i just dealt with it since i am not able to do anything with it. But ea time it didnt "kick in" until after LO arrived. But now it has started with this one and im just 37.3wks. I was wondering if you have the same thing how do you handle the pain? I would get to the point that putting my arm down would be sooo painful and uncomfortable I would dread BF. But i really want to nurse my LO this time as long as i can. Anyone have any recommendations for relief? How bad is your discomfort?
BREAST TISSUE IN ARMPIT... or am i just a freak of nature??

OMG! Thank you for posting this because YES, I Do have breast tissue under my right armpit that swells up when my milk comes in. I thought it was so weird and feared cancer for a long time. I guess I'll have to be careful to remind my doctor to check it out when I get mammograms.
Mom of 8 and that's enough for me.
"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."
I'm pretty sure everyone has breast tissue in that area. That's why you're supposed to check your armpits along with your breasts when you do self-exams.
men dont get it but our breasts take up our whole chest cavity area. from arm pit to arm pit collar bone to mid ribs. hence why during postpartum it seems like our breasts are bigger because of milk production....lol and boy don't the hubby's and so's love that even though we are uncomfortable....lol sorry it was kinda off topic but i thought it was kinda funny, it was something my hubby was talking about....how big my breasts would be after the baby. now i just wish he knew our pain as the milk comes in.....lol

liberty_belle-what would you do for refief?
egypt_cobra-oh wow all the way up to collar bone? YIKES!!! What was she able to do for comfort?
I am wondering if the doc is able to do anything to stop the growth in the armpit area and still be able to produce naturally in the breasts to BF?? Maybe i can ask a lactation consultant at the hospital tues after my c section. Besides it hurting if feels like im holding one of those little rubber bouncy balls in my armpit or something. mine literally gets that big!
Wife to Fredo, Mommy to Jacob, Aiden, and Matthew and MIA.
My armpit was swollen with milk and my ob told me to wrap it with an ace bandage and put ice on it. This shrunk the milk duct and it went away in a week. The bandage was hard to keep on so I only left it on an hour or so but the ice really did the trick.

Um, I've already slipped into geek speak. Peplum, that's the "fancy" word for "sword and sandal" flicks like Steve Reeves' 1960s Hercules films. Most of the most popular peplums (believe it or not there is (or was, it's been a while since I looked) a 'zine devoted to the study of them) involve hordes of barbarians, Romans, infidels, or nameless thugs battling lone supermen in loincloths. These are mythic tales told with shoestring budgets and dubbed. They are quite a bit of fun after a few beers but watching them sober is quite dangerous.

The Dolphins are short at cornerback because Travis Daniels continues to miss practice because of ankle injury that Saban acknowledged Tuesday was a "significant" sprain, because Michael Lehan had arthroscopic knee surgery last week, and because Eddie Jackson pulled an abdominal muscle earlier this week.
Saban joked some were pushing for me to line up at cornerback at practice Tuesday, but he decided against it after offensive lineman Vernon Carey beat him to the practice bubble after the threat of lightning forced the practice inside.
As for Allen getting work at cornerback, Saban said, "It was in our plans, at some point in time –- and it's been a little more difficult to do because Jason (Allen) came in late -– because he played corner in college and we liked him as a corner in college that on some occasion, we may take a look at him.

I had a hair transplant of about 2,600 follicular unit extraction (FUE) grafts Nov 08. New hair is now visible in the frontal area, but it is sparse and I'm unhappy with the looks. Though most of the grafts were put in the frontal area of head, I had quite a few in the vertex area too, where so far I haven't seen any growth or changes. I'm now near the 6th month after surgery. What can I expect from this point on? What are my chances of having further improvement? Thanks!

Hair Regrowth After Restoration Takes Time
Hair transplant growth timeline
- Dormant period (0-4 months): The transplanted hairs shed their original hairs. Typically no hair growth is seen at this time.
- Emergent period ( 4-8 months): The new hairs gradually appear. For most patients 80% of the hairs emerge by 8 months. Crown hairs can be the slowest to appear. These new hairs will often be fine.
- Maturation (8-12 months): The new hairs thicken. Frizzy haired patients may have frizzier hair for a few months.
Web reference: http://www.annarborplasticsurgery.com/hair/hair-treatment-recovery.html
Hair regrowth
All hairs go thru a 'shock' phase and are lost after transplant -- or nearly all.
Beyond that, the regrowth happens according to the individual hair follicle's normal growth phase. It can take up to 12-18 months for the 'normal' growth cycle to be re-established, though, with most of it happening within 9-12 months.
Expect 6 Months
Web reference: http://becosmetic.com/hair-transplant-london.php
How Long Does Hair Growth Take After a Hair Transplant
Although a full result may take as long as 18 months to be achieved, most will attain this at 12 to 14 months. Sometimes, a result may take longer to show when working with scars or filling in a previously transplanted area.
I usually take the first post op review around 8 months, and explain that this is phase 1, and review again for a near full result at 1 year. There are many factors that can make the growth come sooner or much later, and patience is extremely important!

Ruslan Provodnikov got robbed brutally!
One of biggest robbery I ever seen.
Total domination,I had 10 rounds to 2 for Ruslan.

i actually thought that they were gonna rob herrera. there wasn't one person in my section that thought ruslan won and they were all pulling for him and i had picked herrera, mainly because he was the underdog, that and i thought ruslan was going to walk right through him, and he most certainly did not.
bottom line, you put a guy that can move and is partially slick against ruslan, provodnikov will have nothing but trouble. you put him in against a guy that is willing to stand and trade, and you have a sitting duck for ruslan, put it another way, ruslan needs to learn to deal with movement.
i wish him the best, he's gonna need it, the blueprint is set against him.

The Defassa Waterbuck is found west of the western Rift Valley and south of the Sahel from Eritrea in the east to Guinea Bissau in the west; its most northerly point of distribution is in southern Mali. A population still exists in Niokola-Koba in Senegal. Defassa also range east of the Congo Basin forest, spreading west below the basins southern limit through Zambia into Angola. Another arm extends north, west of the Congo Basin to the Zare R. in Congo Republic. Defassa are extinct in Gambia (though vagrants may enter from Senegal) (Spinage in press).
East of the eastern Rift Valley, the Defassa is replaced by the Common Waterbuck, which extends southwards to about the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi N.P. in KwaZulu-Natal, and to central Namibia. Common Waterbuck are extinct in Ethiopia (though Defassa remain) (Spinage in press).
There are two main groups of waterbuck. The ellipsiprymnus group is found throughout southeast Africa. The defassa group is found in northeastern, central, and western Africa (Kingdon, 1982).
Biogeographic Regions: ethiopian (Native )
Physical Description
Waterbuck have long bodies and necks and short legs. The hair is coarse, and they have a mane on their necks (Estes, 1991). Their head and body length ranges from 177 - 235 cm and shoulder height from 120 - 136 cm. Only male waterbuck have horns, which are curved forward and vary in length from 55 - 99 cm. The length of the horns is determined by the age of the waterbuck (Kingdon, 1982). Body color ranges from gray to red-brown and darkens with age. The lower part of the legs is black with white rings above the hooves (Estes, 1991).
Range mass: 160 to 300 kg.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Average basal metabolic rate: 148.949 W.
Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
- Freshwater
Waterbuck prefer grassland habitat that is close to water. The best habitats are by draining lines and in valleys. While they prefer dry ground, they remain close to water for food and as an escape from predators (Estes, 1991).
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland
Trophic Strategy
Waterbuck are very water dependent. They eat a variety of grasses, both medium and short in length. Their diet is very rich in protein. When the amount of available grass is low, waterbuck eat other herbs to satisfy their needs (Estes, 1991).

Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Male waterbuck mature at six years of age, and females reach maturity in three years. Breeding near the equator is perennial. The generations in these populations are spaced about ten months apart. In northern Africa, the waterbuck calve annually. The gestation period is about eight to eight and a half months. A few days before calving, mothers isolate themselves in thickets. After birth, it takes newborns about half an hour to gain their feet. The young calves remain hidden for two to four weeks (Estes, 1991).

Population Trend
Conservation Actions
Important populations of the Defassa Waterbuck persist in areas such as Niokolo-Koba (Senegal), Comoe (Cte d'Ivoire), Arly-Singou and Nazinga (Burkina Faso), Mole and Bui (Ghana), Pendjari (Benin), the national parks and hunting zones of North Province (Cameroon), Manovo-Gounda-St. Floris (Central African Republic), Moukalaba (Gabon), Garamba and Virunga (Congo-Kinshasa), the Awash Valley and Omo-Mago-Murule (Ethiopia), Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks (Uganda), Serengeti, Moyowosi-Kigosi, Ugalla River and Katavi-Rukwa (Tanzania) and Kafue (Zambia), but about half of these populations are in decline because of poaching (East 1999).
Important populations of the Common Waterbuck occur in areas such as Tsavo, Laikipia, Kajiado, Lake Nakuru and the coastal rangelands (Kenya), Tarangire and Selous-Mikumi (Tanzania), the Luangwa Valley (Zambia), and Kruger, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi and private land (South Africa) (East 1999).
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Waterbuck are hunted for sport in Africa and are found in zoos throughout the world (Kingdon, 1982).
Positive Impacts: food ; body parts are source of valuable material
The waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope found widely in sub-Saharan Africa. It is placed in the genus Kobus of the family Bovidae. It was first described by Irish naturalist William Ogilby in 1833. The thirteen subspecies are grouped under two varieties: the common or ellipsen waterbuck and the defassa waterbuck. The head-and-body length is typically between 177–235 cm (70–93 in) and the average height is between 120 and 136 cm (47 and 54 in). A sexually dimorphic antelope, males are taller as well as heavier than females. Males reach approximately 127 cm (50 in) at the shoulder, while females reach 119 cm (47 in). Males typically weigh 198–262 kg (437–578 lb) and females 161–214 kg (355–472 lb). The coat colour varies from brown to grey. The long, spiral horns, present only on males, curve backward, then forward and are 55–99 cm (22–39 in) long.
Waterbuck are rather sedentary in nature. A gregarious animal, the waterbuck may form herds consisting of six to 30 individuals. These groups are either nursery herds with females and their offspring or bachelor herds. Males start showing territorial behaviour from the age of five years, but are most dominant from the age of six to nine. The waterbuck can not tolerate dehydration in hot weather, and thus inhabits areas close to sources of water. Predominantly a grazer, the waterbuck is mostly found on grassland. In equatorial regions, breeding takes place throughout the year, but births are at their peak in the rainy season. The gestational period lasts for seven to eight months, followed by the birth of a single calf.
Waterbuck inhabit scrub and savanna areas along rivers, lakes and valleys. Due to their requirement for grasslands as well as water, the waterbuck have a sparse ecotone distribution. The IUCN lists the waterbuck as being of Least Concern. More specifically, the common waterbuck is listed as of Least Concern while the defassa waterbuck is Near Threatened. The population trend for both the common and defassa waterbuck is downwards, especially that of the latter, with large populations being eliminated from certain habitats because of hunting and human disturbance.
Taxonomy and etymology[edit]
The scientific name of the waterbuck is Kobus ellipsiprymnus. The waterbuck is one of the six species of the genus Kobus and belongs to the family Bovidae. It was first described by Irish naturalist William Ogilby in 1833. The generic name Kobus is a New Latin word, originating from an African name, koba. The specific name ellipsiprymnus refers to the white elliptical ring on the rump,[2] from the Greek ellipes (ellipse) and prymnos (prumnos, hind part).[3] The animal acquired the vernacular name "waterbuck" due to its heavy dependence on water as compared to other antelopes and its ability to enter into water for defence.[4]
The type specimen of the waterbuck was collected by South African hunter-explorer Andrew Steedman in 1832. This specimen was named Antilope ellispiprymnus by Ogilby in 1833. This species was transferred to the genus Kobus in 1840, becoming K. ellipsiprymnus. It is usually known as the common waterbuck. In 1835, German naturalist Eduard Rüppell collected another specimen, which differed from Steedman's specimen in having a prominent white ring on its rump. Considering it a separate species, Rüppell gave it the Amharic name "defassa" waterbuck and scientific name Antilope defassa.[2] Modern taxonomists, however, consider the common waterbuck and defassa waterbuck a single species, K. ellipsiprymnus, given the large number of instances of hybridisation between the two.[2] Interbreeding between the two takes place in the Nairobi National Park owing to extensive overlapping of habitats.[5]
Not many fossils of the waterbuck have been found. Fossils were scarce in the Cradle of Humankind, occurring only in a few pockets of the Swartkrans.[6] On the basis of Valerius Geist's theories about the relation of social evolution and dispersal in ungulates during the Pleistocene,[7] the ancestral home of the waterbuck is considered to be the eastern coast of Africa - with the Horn of Africa to the north and the East African Rift Valley to the west.[2]
37 subspecies of the waterbuck had been initially recognised on the basis of coat colour. They were classified into two groups: the Ellipsen waterbuck group and the Defassa waterbuck group. Owing to the large number of variations in the coat colour in the Defassa waterbuck group, as many as 29 subspecies were included in it; the Ellipsen waterbuck group consisted of eight subspecies. In 1971, however, the number of subspecies was reduced to thirteen (four for the Ellipsen waterbuck group and nine for the Defassa waterbuck group). Though they occur in Zambia as well, their ranges are separated by relief features or by the Muchinga escarpment.[8] The subspecies have been listed below (along with notes about the former subspecies which were recombined into a single subspecies):[2][9]

The waterbuck is the largest amongst the six species of Kobus.[2] It is a sexually dimorphic antelope, with the males nearly 7 percent taller than females and around 8 percent longer.[2] The head-and-body length is typically between 177–235 cm (70–93 in) and the average height is between 120 and 136 cm (47 and 54 in).[10] Males reach approximately 127 cm (50 in) at the shoulder, while females reach 119 cm (47 in). The waterbuck is one of the heaviest antelopes. a newborn typically weighs 13.6 kg (30 lb), and growth in weight is faster in males than in females.[2] Males typically weigh 198–262 kg (437–578 lb) and females 161–214 kg (355–472 lb).[11] The tail is 22–45 cm (8.7–17.7 in) long.[3]
The waterbuck is of a robust build. The shaggy coat is reddish brown to grey, and becomes progressively darker with age. Males are darker than females.[12] Though apparently thick, the hair is sparse on the coat. The hair on the neck is, however, long and shaggy. When sexually excited, the skin of the waterbuck secretes a greasy substance with the odour of musk, giving it the name "greasy kob".[2][11] This secretion also assists in water-proofing the body when the animal dives into water.[12] The facial features include a white muzzle and light eyebrows and lighter insides of the ears. There is a cream-coloured patch (called "bib") on the throat. Waterbuck are characterised by a long neck and short, strong and black legs.[3][10] Females have two nipples.[8] Preorbital glands, foot glands and inguinal glands are absent.[13]
The common waterbuck and the defassa waterbuck are remarkably different in their physical appearances. Measurements indicate greater tail length in the latter, whereas the common waterbuck stand taller than the defassa waterbuck.[14] However, the principal differentiation between the two types is the white ring of hair surrounding the tail on the rump, which is a hollow circle in the common waterbuck but covered with white hair in the defassa waterbuck.[11]
The long, spiral horns curve backward, then forward. Found only on males, the horns range from 55 to 99 cm (22 to 39 in) in length.[11] To some extent, the length of the horns is related to the bull's age. A rudimentary horn in the form of a bone lump may be found on the skulls of females.[12]
Ecology and behaviour[edit]
Waterbuck are rather sedentary in nature, though some migration may occur with the onset of monsoon. A gregarious animal, the waterbuck may form herds consisting of six to 30 individuals. The various groups are the nursery herds, bachelor herds and territorial males. Herd size increases in summer, whereas groups fragment in the winter months, probably under the influence of food availability.[15] As soon as young males start developing horns (at around seven to nine months of age), they are chased out of the herd by territorial bulls. These males then form bachelor herds and may roam in female home ranges.[3] Females have home ranges stretching over 200–600 hectares (0.77–2.32 sq mi; 490–1,480 acres). A few females may form spinster herds.[16] Though females are seldom aggressive, minor tension may arise in herds.[14]
Males start showing territorial behaviour from the age of five years, but are most dominant from the age of six to nine. Territorial males hold territories 4–146 hectares (0.015–0.564 sq mi; 9.9–360.8 acres) in size. Males are inclined to remain settled in their territories, though over time they may leave inferior territories for more spacious ones. Marking of territories includes no elaborate rituals - dung and urine are occasionally dropped.[16] After the age of ten years, males lose their territorial nature and replaced by a younger bull, following which they recede to a small and unprotected area.[14] There is another social group, that of the satellite males, which are mature bulls as yet without their own territories, who exploit resources, particularly mating opportunities, even in the presence of the dominant bull. The territorial male may allow a few satellite males into his territory, and they may contribute to its defence. However, gradually they may deprive the actual owner of his territory and seize the area for themselves. In a study in the Lake Nakuru National Park, only 7 percent of the adult males held territories, and only half of the territorial males tolerated one or more satellite males.[17][18]
Territorial males may use several kinds of display. In one type of display, the white patch on the throat and between the eyes is clearly revealed, and other displays can demonstrate the thickness of the neck. These activities frighten trespassers. Lowering of the head and the body depict submission before the territorial male, who stands erect.[8] Fights, which may last up to thirty minutes, involve threat displays typical of bovids accompanied by snorting.[16] Fights may even become so violent that one of the opponents meets its death due to severe abdominal or thoracic wounds.[11] A silent animal, the waterbuck makes use of flehmen response for visual communication and alarm snorts for vocal communication. Waterbuck often enter water to escape from predators which include lions, leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs and Nile crocodiles (leopards and spotted hyenas prey on juveniles).[14] However, it has been observed that the waterbuck does not particularly like being in water.[19] Waterbuck may run into cover when alarmed, and males often attack predators.[11]
Diseases and parasites[edit]
Waterbuck are susceptible to ulcers, lungworm infection and kidney stones. Other diseases from which these animals suffer are foot-and-mouth disease, sindbis fever, yellow fever, bluetongue, bovine virus diarrhoea, brucellosis and anthrax. The waterbuck is more resistant to rinderpest than are other antelopes. They are unaffected by tsetse flies but ticks may introduce parasitic protozoa such as Theileria parva, Anaplasma marginale and Baberia bigemina. 27 species of ixodid tick have been found on waterbuck - a healthy waterbuck may carry a total of over 4000 ticks in their larval or nymphal stages, the most common among them being Amblyomma cohaerens and Rhipicephalus tricuspis. Internal parasites found in waterbuck include tapeworms, liverflukes, stomachflukes and several helminths.[20][14]
The waterbuck exhibits great dependence on water. It can not tolerate dehydration in hot weather, and thus inhabits areas close to sources of water. However, it has been observed that unlike the other members of its genus (such as the kob and puku), the waterbuck ranges farther into the woodlands while maintaining its proximity to water.[19] With grasses constituting a substantial 70 to 95 percent of the diet, the waterbuck is predominantly a grazer frequenting grasslands. Reeds and rushes like Typha and Phragmites may also be preferred.[14] A study found regular consumption of three grass species round the year: Panicum anabaptistum, Echinochloa stagnina and Andropogon gayanus. Hyparrhenia involucrata, Acroceras amplectens and Oryza barthii along with annual species were the main preference in the early rainy season, while long life grasses and forage from trees constituted three-fourths of the diet in the dry season.[21]
Though the defassa waterbuck were found to have a much greater requirement for protein than the African buffalo and the Beisa oryx, the waterbuck was found to spend much lesser time on browsing (eating leaves, small shoots and fruits) in comparison to the other grazers. In the dry season about 32 percent of the 24-hour day was spent in browsing, whereas no time was spent on it during the wet season. The choice of grasses varies with location rather than availability; for instance, in western Uganda, while Sporobolus pyramidalis was favoured in some places, Themeda triandra was the main choice elsewhere. The common waterbuck and the defassa waterbuck in the same area may differ in their choices; it has been observed that while the former preferred Heteropogon contortus and Cynodon dactylon, the latter showed less preference for these grasses.[14]
Waterbuck are slower than other antelopes in terms of the rate of maturity.[11] While males become sexually mature at the age of six years, females reach maturity within two to three years.[10] Females may conceive by the age of two-and-a-half years, and remain reproductive for another ten years.[14] In equatorial regions, breeding takes place throughout the year, and births are at their peak in the rainy season. However, breeding is seasonal in the Sudan (south of Sahara), with the mating season lasting four months. The season extends for even longer periods in some areas of southern Africa. Oestrus lasts for a day or less.[11]
Mating begins after the male confirms that the female is in oestrus, which he does by sniffing her vulva and urine. A resistive female would try to bite or even fight off an advancing male. The male exhibits flehmen, and often licks the neck of the female and rubs his face and the base of his horns against her back. There are several attempts at mounting before the actual copulation. The female shifts her tail to one side, while the male clasps her sides with his forelegs and rests on her back during copulation, which may occur as many as ten times.[11][8]
The gestational period lasts for seven to eight months, followed by the birth of a single calf. Twins are rare. Pregnant females isolate themselves and into thickets as parturition approaches. Newborn calves can stand on their feet within half-an-hour of birth.[10] The mother eats the afterbirth. She communicates with the calf by bleating or snorting.[8] Calves are kept hidden for two to three weeks or even two months. At about three to four weeks, the calf begins following its mother, who signals it to do so by raising her tail. Though bereft of horns, mothers will fiercely defend their offspring from predators. Calves are weaned at eight months, following which time they join groups of calves of their own age.[11] Young females remain with their mothers in nursery herds, or may also join bachelor herds.[8] The waterbuck lives to 18 years in the wild and 30 years in captivity.[14]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The waterbuck is native to southern and eastern Africa (including countries such as Angola, Botswana, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda) besides a few countries of western and northern Africa such as Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal. Though formerly widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, its numbers have now decreased in most areas.[1]
The common waterbuck is found east of the Eastern African Rift. Its southern range extends to the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve (KwaZulu Natal) and to central Namibia. By contrast, the defassa waterbuck inhabits western and central Africa. The defassa waterbuck occurs west of the Albertine Rift and ranges from Eritrea to Guinea Bissau in the southern Sahel, its most northerly point of distribution being in southern Mali. Its range also stretches east of the Congo basin through Zambia into Angola, while another branch extends to the Zaire River west of the Congo basin. While the common waterbuck is now extinct in Ethiopia, the defassa waterbuck has become extinct in Gambia.[1]
Waterbuck inhabit scrub and savanna areas alongside rivers, lakes and valleys.[12] Due to their requirement for grasslands as well as water, the waterbuck have a sparse distribution across ecotones (areas of interface between two different ecosystems). A study in the Ruwenzori Range showed that the mean density of waterbuck was 5.5 per square mile, and estimates in the Maasai Mara were as low as 1.3 per square mile. It has been observed that territorial size depends on the quality of the habitat, the age and health of the animal and the population density. The greater the age of the animal or the denser the populations, the smaller are the territories. In Queen Elizabeth National Park, females had home ranges 21–61 hectares (0.081–0.236 sq mi; 52–151 acres) in area whereas home ranges for bachelor males averaged between 24–38 hectares (0.093–0.147 sq mi; 59–94 acres). The oldest female (around 18 years old) had the smallest home range.[11]
Threats and conservation[edit]
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) lists the waterbuck as of Least Concern. More specifically, the common waterbuck is listed as of Least Concern while the defassa waterbuck is Near Threatened. The population trend for both the common and defassa waterbuck is decreasing, especially that of the latter, with large populations being eliminated from their habitats due to hunting and human settlement. Their own sedentary nature too is responsible for this to some extent. Numbers have fallen in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Akagera National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Comoé National Park.[1] Population decrease in the Lake Nakuru National Park has been attributed to heavy metal poisoning in the animals. While cadmium and lead levels were dangerously high in the kidney and the liver, copper, calcium and phosphorus deficiency was noted.[22]
Over 60 percent of the defassa waterbuck populations thrive in protected areas, most notably in Niokolo-Koba, Comoe, Mole, Bui, Pendjari, Manovo-Gounda St. Floris, Moukalaba-Doudou, Garamba, Virunga, Omo, Mago, Murchison Falls, Serengeti, and Katavi, Kafue and Queen Elizabeth National Parks, the national parks and hunting zones of North Province (Cameroon), Ugalla River Forest Reserve, Nazinga Game Ranch, Rukwa Valley, Awash Valley, Murule and Arly-Singou. The common waterbuck occurs in Tsavo, Tarangire, Mikumi, Kruger and Lake Nakuru National Parks, Laikipia, Kajiado, Luangwa Valley, Selous and Hluhluwe-Umfolozi game reserves and private lands in South Africa.[1][14]
Scientists with the ICIPE have developed tsetse-fly-repellant collars for cattle based on the smell of the waterbuck.[23]

My apologies for a 'group' thank you. This one slipped through the net. But thank you all, individually, all the same ... Best wishes, David.
I am doing that David as I was contacted in private message that I did not vote when I said I did...Do not want to upset any one so I am interested in looking at pictures and nice to have a little chat but not be pressured into voting all the time and have not got time to sit at computer all the time...Cheers Marion
Well composed shot of great image like,cheers navsha
My many thanks to you all. Anytime spent in my gallery is very much appreciated. Best wishes, David.
Tremendous capture, David! Try to say Woolloomooloo 3X after some vodka and catberries! I absolutely agree about people who get bored, no imagination and they always expect others to entertain them. Somewhere along the way I picked up the line "bored people are boring" and I think it fits very well. If one is bored these days in the computer age, they should give their head a shake ... and most of all stop posting that you are bored on Facebook ... go outside and take a look, there is a whole world out there!!! ~≈L&F≈~ Warm hugs, Renata
Nice lines in this beautiful compo! Like!
My thanks to all.
Best wishes, David.
