Bontebok

Damaliscus pygargus pygarus

Description:

"The bontebok is an antelope found in South Africa and Lesotho. The bontebok has two subspecies; the endangered bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus pygarus), occurring naturally in the Fynbos and Renosterveld areas of the Western Cape, and the blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi) occurring in the highveld." (Wikipedia)

Habitat:

Bontebok are very shy, and you have to be slow and patient if you don't want them to bolt when they see you. This little group having a nibble at sundown at Cape Point, South Africa were keeping a careful eye on us...
