  2. Nyala antelope (Tragelaphus angasii)

    A male nyala antelope stands alert in golden grasslands. His chalky white markings make for surprisingly effective camouflage, confusing a predator’s ability to clearly distinguish shape or direction. Prey to lions and leopards, they’re known for their exceptional hearing, sense of smell and sight – if they sense danger, they will alert others with a high-pitched bark.

    "Despite appearances, true #gazelles are not the closest living relatives of the #springbok. That honour is probably tied between two other species, although there have yet to be sufficient genetic studies to absolutely nail that down - one could be closer than the other. They likely diverged from the springbok over 10 million years ago in the late #Miocene"

  8. Antelopine #Antelopes: The Gazelles of Asia

    "on the whole, westerners associate #gazelles with Africa... However, they may have originated in Asia and various species survive on both continents today, having split apart around 2 or 3 million years ago at or shortly before, the start of the Ice Ages."

    "#Nilgais, the largest antelope species in Asia, are reappearing in northwestern #Bangladesh, a country that was part of their historical range but where they were declared locally extinct in the 1930s due to habitat loss and hunting."
