On the Fringe of Woodland & Savanna
The roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) is a savanna antelope found in West, Central, East and Southern Africa. This one taken in Mahangu National Park, Caprivi, Namibia. Named for their roan colour (a reddish brown), they have lighter underbellies, white eyebrows and cheeks and black faces, lighter in females. They have short, erect manes, very light beards and prominent red nostrils. The horns are ringed and can reach a metre long in males, slightly shorter in females.
