High shouldered and a somewhat awkward looking antelope with a long
pointed head. Hartebeest are one of the fastest and enduring antelopes. Males can weigh up to 150 kg and the female at 120 kg Both sexes have horns. They eat mainly grasses but will also browse. Herd strength can vary from groups of 20 to several hundred. Adult bulls are territorial with the territorial bull and his
harem occupying the best grazing. In flight exhibits a "rocking horse" motion which is
further exaggerated by its long face. Has a habit of using an ant hill as a look out point
