African Antelope

This gallery is composed of a multitude of African antelope, from the klipspringer to the kudu. During our (10/09) trip, we were able to increase the overall quantity, as well as the quality, of the photos in this group. We now have shots of a male and female nyala, Gemsbok, springbok, black faced impala and red hartebeest. It is with the nyala that the reference to sheep changes to that of cattle - the male nyala being much larger than the female (250lbs versus 160) is normally referred to as a bull and the female as an ewe. With the antelope larger then the nyala, such as the waterbuck, the male is a bull and the female a cow. Smaller, such as the impala, the male is a ram and the female is a ewe with the babies being lambs. Confusing isn't it? You can also probably have an argument over where the cut off is. In any case, we hope you enjoy.

  • The Waterbuck is a large antelope males reaching about 575 lbs and females almost 500. You will seldom find this breed far from water. The Waterbuck is not the favorite food of most predators due to its unpleasent flavor. Sweat glands over the entire animal coat the fur with a musky odor, allowing this sedentary animal to graze, seldom bothered by the large predators. They are one of the most handsome of the antelope and the one in this photo appears to be trying to decide about my intentions. Kruger Park
