Habitat and Range: many types of habitat in Africa, central and southern Asia, and southwestern Russia Antelopes eat grasses, twigs, bark, leaves, buds, herbs, fruits, and insects. Their life span is three to twenty-five years in captivity, depending on the species. Reproduction of the antelope is one to three young after a pregnancy of four to nine and a half months, depending on the species. This group of animals is amazingly varied.

Since the leader also has to take care of reproduction, it can only hold out for a limited time of a couple of months, then another one takes its place. The Impala are very common. They look similar to Grant's Gazelles of which I do not have a picture here. Impala can run very fast, they also can jump up to 3 meters high or 10 meters wide. The Dik Dik is the ideal antelope for your handbag: It measures only 35 cm from feet to shoulders. Thomson's Gazelles are also very widespread.

The greater kudu weighs around 600 pounds and is distinguished by its long spiral horns, over four feet long. Kudus have excellent hearing with ears that can turn in any direction. Long hair grows on their front from the throat down to the chest. They have six to eight white stripes on the flanks over a gray background. The lesser kudu is a smaller version with up to fifteen stripes, and lacks the hair on its throat seen on greater kudus. Waterbucks also have long horns over two feet with a glossy brown coat.

They are a good example of how an animal can be very successful in finding and filling a certain ecological niche. They are the most widespread of all the forest antelopes and are represented in East Africa by 13 of their 17 species. The smallest of the duikers is the blue duiker, which in East Africa is found in Uganda, western Kenya and parts of Tanzania.

It is found on the open grassy plains and tree grasslands in southern Kenya and Tanzania. The hartebeest is a large, fawn-colored antelope that at first glance seems strangely put together and less elegant than other antelopes. However, being one of the most recent and highly evolved ungulates, it is far from clumsy. In fact, it is one of the fastest antelopes and most enduring runners.

When we behold the curiously twisted horns of the sasin, the long, sharp horns of the passan, the large, spiral horns of the koodoo and the shorter horns of the eland, not to mention the graceful bodies and limbs of these animals, we are led to wonder at the extravagance of nature in furnishing such a variety of appendages to these creatures. By far the larger number of species of this family live in Africa and Asia, where they have reached the highest development of structure.

The male's magnificent spiral horns can reach up to 168 cm in length and are highly prized trophies. Greater kudus frequently use their horns in "wrestling" matches, locking them together and then trying to push or wrestle the opponent into submission. They have also been observed in a form of play, tossing broken branches into the air with their horns and catching them as they fall.

In 1891-2, Brigadier-General Swayne, who discovered the animals, was the first European to visit the area well south of the Golis range of Somaliland and about 200 kms. (125 miles) from the coast. The plains were described as "covered with hartebeest, 300-400 to a herd and a dozen or so herds in sight at any time"- Herds of a thousand individuals were observed. Within fifteen years the tens of thousands in Haud and Ogo that Swayne had seen had dwindled to such an extent that he estimated only about 880 remained. This rapid decline was due to the rinderpest, which swept Africa during the last century. The S Read More Go to Site News1 Votes:0 Menelik's Bushbuck (Tragelaphus seriptus meneliki) Amharic: Dukula. Belonging to the same family as the Mountain Nyala, the Kudu, the Bongo and the Eland, the bushbuck shares with them the family characteristic of shy and elusive behaviour. Over forty races of bushbuck have been identified, which vary considerably both from the point of view of colouration and from the type of habitat they frequent. Most of them are forest- living animals inhabiting dense bush, usually near water, though this is not an essential, as some of them have been known to go without drinking for long periods when necessary. Of the two Ethiopian races, meneliki and powelli, the latter is the more common and somewhat smaller.

It was first collected by Major Ivor Buxton in 1908 and at that time seemed to be fairly widespread throughout the Arsi and Bale regions. Large numbers of them lived at very high altitudes, between ten and thirteen thousand feet, in the mountain forests where it was cold and wet much of the time, until the pressure of the human population destroyed vast tracts of their forest habitat. In Arsi the population is now reduced to a remnant.

A small, trim animal, standing about 90 cm high at the shoulder, the pronghorn is the fastest North American mammal. It is capable of speeds estimated at 80-95 km/h in short bursts. Pronghorns travel in small herds, and signal each other by raising the white hair on their rumps which flashes in the sunlight for long distances on the prairie. Their chief predator is the coyote, but the newborn kids sometimes fall victim to the golden eagle. Home Discover Nature! Natural History Notebooks © nature.ca Comments or Questions?

Those of the sable antelope are covered with ring-like ridges. Adult males often reach 1.5 m at the shoulder and can weigh over 270 kg. They are glossy black except for white markings on their face and underparts, with a tufted tail and slight mane. Sable antelopes are gregarious, nomadic animals. They roam the dry acacia country of Africa in large herds, usually led by a master bull, and they feed on grass and plant life. Sable antelopes were much sought by hunters.

It was found on the beach of Baillie Island, east of the Mackenzie Delta in the Northwest Territories. Other remains have been found in Ice Age deposits of central and northern Alaska. Because saigas are particularly adapted to dry, steppe-grasslands, they probably crossed the wide, steppe-like plains of the Bering Isthmus (a land connection between Siberia and Alaska that existed during glacial phases of the Ice Age) during the last glaciation. These small, slender-limbed mammals with characteristic swollen muzzles became extinct in North America about 10,000 years ago, but saiga herds still survive in the dry grasslands of central Asia.

The species is a valuable paleoenvironmental indicator of dry, steppe-like grasslands, and a saiga fossil proves that eastern Beringia (unglaciated parts of Alaska, Yukon and adjacent areas of the Northwest Territories) extended east of the Mackenzie Delta.
