#roanantelope

　皆さんアフリカのサバンナでライオンやチーターに襲われている草食獣を、シカだと思っていませんか？実はあれはシカではなくウシの仲間で、インパラやガゼル、エランドやヌーといった動物達はレイヨウ(アンテロープ)と呼ばれているグループの草食獣なのです。シカとウシを見分けるポイントのひとつは角です。シカの角は枝分かれをしていますが、ウシの角は枝分かれがありません。またシカの角は季節ごとに生え変わりを繰り返しますが、ウシの角は生え変わることがなく折れてしまうと元には戻りません。

Pferdeantilopen gehören zu den größeren afrikanischen Antilopenarten und sind besonders wegen ihrer Gesichtszeichnung wunderschön. Sie vermehren sich das ganze Jahr ❤️ Schon ein Monat nach der Geburt erfolgt bereits der nächste Eisprung und zwischen zwei Geburten vergehen nur etwa zehn Monate. . . Das Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary bietet sich besonders gut an, diese anmutigen Tiere zu beobachten. Dort lebt eine große Herde und man findet sie meistens in der gleichen Gegend im Park. . . #pferdeantilope #pferdeantilopen #roan #roanantelope #hippotragusequinus #wandern #hiking #wandernmachtglücklich #gamewalk #Hikingfever #neverstopexplore #wanderliebe #wanderbar #wanderlust #wandergirl #einsmitdernatur #safarionfoot #walkingsafari #bushwalk #onfoot #zufussdurchdenbusch #big5forlife #walking #naturelovers #safarihike #hippotrail #mlilwane #mlilwanewildlifesanctuary #eswatini #swaziland (hier: Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTU56FQiqQk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Roan antelope feature continued (3/3)... ~ My personal experiences with roan antelope across Africa: ~ This particular subspecies is H. e. cottoni, one of six subsp. I have seen roan only in a few locations in all my travels, including in Moremi GR, Botswana 🇧🇼(these photos); in Busanga Plains, the northern private section of Kafue NP in Zambia 🇿🇲 where I also saw sable in the same area; I think maybe Kasanka NP, also in Zambia; and in Namibia’s 🇳🇦 Khaudum Game Reserve, southwest of The Caprivi Strip, Bwabwata NP. ~ I have a grand total of only 36 photos of roan, most of them taken on one of my RAW Safaris last October, 2019, in Botswana. ~ It's really a rare treat when you see them! ~ For more info visit www.raw-worldwide.com . . . . . #antelope #antelopes #roan #roanantelope #roanhorse #roanokeoutside #roanmountain #minimalistphotographer #breakfreewitholympus #olympusphotography #olympusomd #getolympus #olympusau #olympusaustralia #natgeoyourshots #natgeoyourshot #wildlifephotographers #wildlifephotographs #ecologylife #wildlifeecology #nature_perfection #ecologytours #africananimal #africananimals #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #africanwildlifefoundation #fgasa #wildlifefacts #wildlifemonitoring (at Kruger National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAY3u3mFrcE/?igshid=1q2571yx6ke3x

Roan Antelope feature continued... ~ Food / Eating Habits: Roan are grazers (eat grasses etc) and eat mid-length grasses. ~ Group Structure / Sexual Habits: Roan antelope form harem groups up to ~15 animals, with a dominant male. Males commonly fight for dominance of their herd, clashing horns and often moving the fight to their knees. ~ Reproduction: Reach sexual maturity by 2.5 to 3 years, gestation last 9 months (long for an antelope). Lifespan to 18 years. ~ Predators: Limited to larger predators, predominantly lions, though weak/injured/young animals could fall prey to leopards, wild dogs and spotted hyena. ~ Tracking: Their spine arches/dips slightly, again much like a horse or zebra, and from observation their tracks appear to semi-register - their dipped/slightly sloped back causes their rear foot to not "register" within the track left by the front foot while walking - only partially. Ungulate, two-hoofed animal, dewclaws may register in deep sand/mud. ~ IUCN Red List (Conservation) Status / Threats: Least concern, 50-60,000 individuals. Threats incl. urban development, agriculture conflict/competition for grazing land and poaching for bushmeat. ~ For more info visit www.raw-worldwide.com . . . . . #antelope #antelopes #roan #roanantelope #roanhorse #roanokeoutside #roanmountain #minimalistphotographer #breakfreewitholympus #olympusphotography #olympusomd #getolympus #olympusau #olympusaustralia #natgeoyourshots #natgeoyourshot #wildlifephotographers #wildlifephotographs #ecologylife #wildlifeecology #nature_perfection #ecologytours #africananimal #africananimals #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #africanwildlifefoundation #fgasa #wildlifefacts #wildlifemonitoring (at Kafue National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYoFaJlyYy/?igshid=jiohfqk1xgbv
