Bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus). It inhabits open grasslands of South Africa and Lesotho and can be found up to elevations of 2,000 m. Both males and females have horns, and subspecies differ in coat coloration, herd size, and ecology. It is primarily a grazer feeding on short grasses (Poaceae) and requires water. Peak breeding seasons vary by region; gestation lasts about eight months and typically results in a single calf. Young males form bachelor groups, while mature males maintain territories and compete for females. Populations once declined sharply but have been recovering through conservation; hybridization has emerged as a new threat.
