Coke’s hartebeest

Coke's hartebeest, or kongoni (A. buselaphus cokei), is a subspecies of hartebeest, a large African antelope known for its elongated head and bracket-shaped horns. This subspecies is the smallest and plainest, found in East Africa. Hartebeests are social animals that live in herds on open plains and scrublands across sub-Saharan Africa. They are selective grazers, using their long muzzles to feed on nutritious leaves and shoots, which gives them an advantage during dry seasons. Adult males are territorial, defending areas that often overlap with the home ranges of female herds.1
