Gemsbok

July 29th, 2014

The Gemsbok is a large antelope of striking appearance with long, spear-like horns often in excess of 40 inches in length. It has a thick, horse-like neck with a short mane and a compact, muscular body. A defined pattern of black markings that contrast with the white face and fawn-colored body are prominently displayed in dominance rituals to emphasize the length of horns and strength of the shoulder.
