Text Appearing Before Image: ble Antelope The Inyala (Tragelaphus angasi) is one of the most beautiful of the antelopes. Thebody is pale greyish brown, with nine or ten transverse white bands, and the legs below theknees are bright reddish brown. The female is hornless ; it is smaller and is rufous in colour,and there are about a dozen transverse white bands round the body. The animal is found in thickly-wooded country, and occurs in small herds. It rangesfrom Zululand to Delagoa Bay, and it also extends north of the Zambesi. The Sitatunga (Tragelaphus selousi) is of a pale brown colour, and the hornsclosely resemble those of the inyala. It does not occur in Natal. The Kudu (StrepsJeeros eapensis) is one of the largest antelopes, and is characterisedby the large spiral horns of the male. It is pale greyish brown in colour, and there are abouteight transverse, narrow, white stripes surrounding the body. The animal lives mostly in the bush in small herds, and it is still to be found inZululand in small numbers. 487 Text Appearing After Image: Inyala—male and female The Eland (Taurotragus oryx) is the largest of the antelopes. The colour of thebody is fawn, and on the forehead there is a prominent swelling extending down between theeyes and carrying a tuft of dark brown hair. The horns are massive. The neck is very thickowing to extensive deposits of fat, and there is a large dewlap. A few occur along the Basutoland and Natal border, and they are now increasing innumbers in the Government Game Reserve. The eland is readily tamed, and would undoubtedlyconstitute a valuable draught animal. In the natural state the eland is found in troops, and it is a singularly timid andharmless animal. It is stated by W. L. Sclater that it is able to live without water like thegemsbuck and springbuck, and that the necessary fluid is obtained from bulbs and tubers. The Sable Antelope (Hippotragus niger) is very dark brown or black, with a whitebelly and a certain amount of white over the face. The horns of this beautiful animal areclosely
