Blesbuck |
|
Both sexes are horned. The horns are brown in colour with strongly marked, pale-coloured rings. The meaning of "blesbuck" is "blazed buck," referring to the white blaze on its face. A second white mark between the horns gives its scientific name, "albifrons." In life the colour of the antelope is very remarkable: a deep purplish-brown with a beautiful purple sheen over the hair. The shining quality is largely lost in dead specimens. The chest is rufous, with the belly and inner parts of the legs white. The tail is long of mixed brown and white hairs. |
