The Aoudad, originally from Africa, has thick, sweeping horns, and can be identified by their long tufts of hair running the length of their chest and forelegs, sometimes referred to as "chaps". Aoudad have a tan to sandy brown coat that helps them in blending in to rocky, barren landscapes. They have a deep chest with seemingly small hindquarters - giving a "stocky" appearance. Males and females both have horns, with the females' being much shorter and with less mass than an adult male - similar to that of a young male. Female horns will usually measure 12-20 inches in length, with males stretching to 35"+ (Aoudad rams with horns reaching 30" from base to tip are often compared to whitetail bucks scoring 150 B&C). Average weights of a male ram is around 200 lbs., but can exceed 300 lbs., while females typically weigh in at 100-120 lbs.

The Addax Antelope originates in the Sahara Desert and have loosely spiraling horns that angle upward and back in both males and females. Horns with 1.5 to 3 twists are common. Exhibit a sandy to almost white summer coat and gray winter coloration, haunches and belly remain white all year. May have a noticeable neck ruff with winter coat. Darker face with a white ‘X’ across face with coarse, brown hair on forehead. Young are born tan. Have a slender tail with short tuft of hair at tip. Widely splayed hooves, adapted for traversing desert sand. Average horn length is 28″, but can grow in excess of 43″. Height at shoulder is 40-45″. Body weights of males are between 225 and 300 lbs.

The Eland Antelope is native to Africa and can weigh up to 2,200 lbs. and standing close to 6 ft. at the shoulder, eland antelope are the world's largest antelope.   One of the eland's most noticeable attributes is their enlarged dewlap (a skin fold hanging from the neck).  Eland also have a ridge of erect hair that runs the back of their neck to their upper shoulders.  Coat color is brown, but will often appear blue/gray to in mature bulls as hair thins.  Young show white, vertical stripes that become more faint as animal ages.  They have a long, slender tail with dark brush tip.  Both sexes grow smooth horns that spiral or corkscrew near their base.  Females may have longer, but thinner horns than their male counterparts.   Horns average 24" with lengths up to 44" in adult males.  Gregarious, by nature, largely a herd animal.  This social behavior begins at an early age with mutual attraction and licking between calves.  Tend to avoid dense woodlands and feed in open grasslands.  Most active in early morning and late afternoon, lying in shade during heat of the day. Eland are surprisingly fast considering their immense size, reaching speeds of 40+ mph.

The Gemsbok Antelope originated in East Africa and the Gemsbok are light brownish-grey to tan in color, with lighter patches to the bottom rear of the rump. They have striking black and white facial markings that are unique to gemsbok and form a white "butterfly" pattern when viewed head on.  Their tails are long, tassle-like and black in color.  A dark brown stripe extends from the chin down the bottom edge of the neck through the join of the shoulder and leg along the lower flank of each side to the brown section of the rear leg. They have muscular necks and shoulders and their legs have white 'socks' with a black patch on the front of both the front legs and both genders have long, straight, ringed horns. These horns average 33" (reaching 4 feet) in length and are perfectly straight on males.  Their horns extend from the base of the skull to a slight outward and rearward angle.  Gemsbok are one of the few antelope species where female trophies are sometimes more desirable than males.  Gemsbok stand around 4.5 ft at the shoulder; males can weigh between 450-500 lbs, while females weigh 350-400 lbs.  In instances of high productivity grazing, fat deposits under the skin become noticeable. 

Grant's Zebra is a subspecies that represents the zebra in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. This northern subspecies is vertically striped in front, horizontally on the back legs, and diagonally on the rump and hind flanks. The stripes, as well as the inner-spaces, are broad and well defined. Northerly specimens may lack a mane. Grant's zebras grow to be about 3.9 to 4.6 feet tall, and generally weigh about 660 lbs. The zebras live in family groups of up to 17 or 18 zebras, and they are led by a single stallion.  Grant's zebras live an average of 20 years.

The Greater Kudu Antelope originates from the southern portion of Africa and is known as the Grey Ghost of the Serengeti. They are Tall antelope with long legs and large, rounded ears.  Males are typically gray with 6-10 slender, vertical stripes. Kudu bulls have a mane that runs from their chin to their chest and shorter hair ridge along spine on upper shoulders.   They also show a white line across their snout, under the eyes.  Males sport large, openly-spiraling horns that twist 2 to 3 times in an overall v-pattern and can reach lengths of up to 6 feet along the curve.  Two and a half curls are not usually observed until age 6.  Mature bulls are much larger than females, averaging 500 lbs. and weighing up to 700+.  The average weight of an adult cow is around 375 lbs.

The Scimitar Horned Oryx is found primarily in Northern Africa and are a white colored oryx with a light orange to reddish neck and chest.  Face and leg markings are often beige.  May have a faint flank stripe.  Medium-sized antelope that is often noted for its long, thin, ringed horns that sweep back over their backs.  Both sexes display horns.  Lengths of horns in males can reach 50+inches but average 34 to 36 inches.  Width between horn tips (spread) varies widely, from 5 inches to over 2 feet.  Fawns are born tan with a tint of orange hue.  Adult oryx will tip the scales at easily over 200 lbs., with males averaging 330 lbs and females 265 lbs. Oryx are some of the most well adapted species for dry, barren habitats.  Scimitar Oryx can survive without water for many weeks because of their specialized kidneys that prevent loss of water from urination.  They can also modify their body temperature to avoid perspiration.  Derive much of their daily intake from plants eaten during morning and evening (when water content is highest).

The Impala Antelope is found primarily in East Africa and are a medium sized antelope that have distinct coloration.  Reddish brown coat on upper body that transitions to light tan on lateral side (bottom half) of body.  Belly is white as well as the throat, lips, line over eyes, inside ears, and underside of the tail.  Black, vertical markings on tail, back of hind limbs and sometimes, forehead. Impala also have distinctive black tufts of hair on the backs of their lower hind legs that act as scent glands. Males have slender, ringed, lyre-shaped horns that grow inward and upward in an S-shape and average 20 inches in length.  Average live weights are 130 lbs for males and 100 lbs for female impala. Impala are very agile and have extreme leaping ability -- up to 10 feet high and 36 feet long.  Seem to leap for no apparent reason at times and almost appear close to flipping back legs first.

The Sable Antelope are black, females and subordinate males are reddish brown, both with a white undercoat and distinct facial markings. Some females are also black regardless of age.  Sweeping horns that are ringed, arch back and average 32″ to 41″ in adult males; 23″ to 32″ in adult females.  Both sexes have horns, with females' usually shorter in length than mature males.  Have longer tufts of hair on neck and shoulders.  Tails are over 2 feet long with a brushy tip.  Males generally weigh between 440 and 500 lbs. When startled, usually run short distance before looking back.  However, when pursued, sable can reach speeds of 35 mph that can be sustained over long distances.

The Waterbuck Antelope is a shaggy-haired antelope has a coat of coarse hair ranging in color from grey-brown to reddish, with darker legs. The face is marked with white around the nose, mouth, above the eyes and on the throat. The short, rounded ears are white on the inside and black on the edges and tips. The males bear long, heavily-ridged horns, extending back from the head and then sweeping forward, reaching up to 39 inches in length.  The species can be easily distinguished by the obvious pattern on their rear; a broad, white ring encircles the rump of the waterbuck. Waterbuck stand 47 to 54 inches at the shoulder.  Males weigh between 440 and 660 lbs.
