Hartebeest

Hartebeest is a large African antelope. There are two main kinds, the red hartebeest and Lichtenstein's hartebeest. The red hartebeest is found in central and southwest Africa. Lichtenstein's hartebeest lives in Southern Africa, especially Mozambique and Zambia.

Hartebeests grow from 3 1/2 to 5 feet high and weigh from 220 to 500 pounds. The females are smaller than the males. Both the females and the males have curved horns. Hartebeests have a brown or reddish-brown coat. The red hartebeest is more reddish and slightly smaller than Lichtenstein's hartebeest.

Hartebeests live in open or lightly wooded areas, where they feed on many kinds of grasses. They run rapidly and can easily outrun a lion or a horse. They travel in herds of 10 or 20 or more. Hartebeests were once found throughout the grassy plains of Africa, but some populations have now become scarce.
