No I do not think &quot;anyone can just [identify these animals from aerial photographs].&quot; I think the people most likely to correctly identify the animals in aerial photos were those with the most experience identifying the animals on the ground. So, no I could not distinguish the different species in the last photo. But I would also have trouble distinguishing the animals regardless of the photo quality. I have no idea how a Blue Gnu is differentiated from another type of Gnu.
