    Roughly *how* confident are you of this identification? Last I heard there was only a single individual of this taxon within the United Kingdom - one Red Lechwe among the entire herd of Kafue Lechwe at Port Lympne. The two taxa are very alike in appearance, and as the latter taxon was long-classified as a subspecies of the former you cannot take signposts saying "Kobus leche" for granted.

    I have had a look into it and it says on Borth's website that:
    "Some are white and three came from Knowsley Wildlife park"
    as Knowsleys are Kafue would this mean the ones at Borth are Kafue?

    They are all K.l.kafuensis.

    I do not believe that Port Lympne has K.l.lechwe.

    I didn't notice that you had listed Common (Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus I assume) and Eastern Bongo originally, but I didn't know there were any apart from isaaci in captivity at all.
    Are there many in US zoos? (I'd heard there were none at all when I followed up a Wikipedia picture of an Eastern Bongo from a US zoo mistakenly labelled as a Western)

    Nope, one of the few Tragelaphine species not split. Even still, no one holds the western subspecies. They're all eastern in captivity.

    In that case, I was even more wrong. Thanks for correcting me. The guide book at Natural Bridge just said bongo, I figured that they'd have made a big deal about it if it were the critically endangered version.

    Turns out that the Bongo is the most common species on antelope in US zoos at the moment.
