With its huge ears and long legs, a #Roan #antelope baby is one of the cutest animals in the world.
This cute little girl is a Roan antelope. Sadly, her mother passed away, so at only 5 days old, she was brought to the rescue center, and so far, she is doing well!
Roan antelope are one of the largest species of antelope in Africa and within South Africa are endangered. Head-body 200-219 cm, tail 60-75 cm, shoulder height 126-145 cm, ear 35-38 cm, hindfoot 52-55 cm, weight 235-300 kg (males) and 215-280 kg (females)
The ears are very large and slightly curved backward toward the tips, with noticeable tufts. There is an erect brown mane, with whitish hair bases, running along the neck to just behind the withers, and a shorter mane down the throat to the brisket.
Both sexes have horns. The horns are relatively short, a little longer than the head, and strongly curved backward, even in a semicircle in some males; they are ridged along almost the entire anterior Surface except for the tips. (source: Handbook of Mammals in the World)
