Lechwe
July 29th, 2014
The Lechwe is an antelope found in Botswana, Zambia, southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and eastern Angola. They stand 35 to 39 inches at the shoulder and weigh 150 to 260 pounds. They are golden brown with white bellies. The hind legs are somewhat longer in proportion than in other antelopes to ease long-distance running in marshy soil and spend much of their lives in and around swampy areas.
