The blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi) is a species of antelope native to South Africa.

What do Blesbok look like:

Blesbok have a light-brown to reddish coat, and a prominent white face and white blaze on the forehead. The male has a pair of S-shaped horns that are 14-20 inches long, while the females horns are shorter and thinner.

Blesbok Habitat:

Blesboks preferred habitat is open grasslands or plains with plenty water. They spend the wet season in medium-tight grasses, and the dry season in the poor-quality grasses. 

Blesbok Behavior:

Like wildebeest, blesboks social structure consists of territorial males, female herds, and bachelor groups. They are active during the day, but they do become less active during the hotter parts of the day. During the heat of the day, the herds will orientate themselves towards the sun with their heads bowed. They generally migrate wherever grass is available.

Blesbok Reproduction:

The blesbok breeding season occurs from March to May, where females give birth to a single calf after a gestation period of about 8 months.
