They are mid-size with a light weight appearance. It's back is a reddish brown with it's chest, stomach, throat and chin being white.
The Aepyceros melampus occur in the North Easterly parts of South Africa and upwards to Kenia. In South Africa they are imported into regions beyond their normal distribution. The Aepyceros melampus petersi (like the ones shown here) can be found in the North of Namibia to Angola. They are endangered and listed as vulnerable. The difference is the black line on it's forehead.
They like savanna fields with trees for protection and won't be found in mountains. They also need drinking water. They feed off grass and leaves. (Swartneusrooibok - Aepyceros melampus petersi)
