Blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi)
Its predominant characteristic is the white stripe that marks its face up to the eyes. With the white belly and paws and brown fur that lightens from belly to the back it is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful antelopes of the savannah.
Either the male or the female have ringed horns up to the edge, however, the female horns are thinner, are small/average sized animals, reaching 90 cm high (up to the shoulders), 130 cm to 155 cm length and weight of 50 kg to 80 kg.
They can be found in open and grassed areas in South Africa, however, as they have lots of predators, they are always alert, which proposes a challenge to your approximation.
