Boselaphus tragocamelus
A large antelope, the females are a light brown color with a white rump.
They are native to India, but they are pretty common to see in south Texas and Alabama where they escaped from ranches where they were brought over for hunting.

I had no idea...
They were on a very famous ranch in south Texas for hunting, but they escaped a couple years ago and there are several thousand living completely wild and doing quite well too
Wow, so these are feral escapees or held on a hunting reserve?
