I'm often asked about sexing Kenyans. It's fairly easy once you see enough of them and if you have a few to compare to, it doesn't take long to see the physical differences in body structure.

^Here's a little group of some of last years Nuclears. Lets see if we can sex them visually.
Below is an example of a male. Notice the tail length and even taper

Below is a photo of a female. Notice the shorter tail and quicker taper

Now below is the first group separated. Lets have some educated guesses as to the genders of this group. (Not for Brian)
Is it
A 1.3
B 2.2
C 3.1
D 4.0
E 0.4
