No I do not think "anyone can just [identify these animals from aerial photographs]." 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.
- executesorder66 11y agoLet me use an analogy to try and explain what I mean. If some of the best sprinters in the world managed to sprint 100m in 8.5 seconds, I wouldn't be surprised that they managed to to that. But I would still find it impressive. I would not be like, "Who gives a shit? They are athletes. That's what you should have expected."
