The bontebok is a medium-sized antelope with a white stripe on its face and a white spot on its rump. This herbivorous animal lives in herds on the grassy plains of South Africa.
The bontebok differs from other antelopes by its bright white coloration of the face and rump. It is important for nature as a herbivorous animal that supports grass growth in meadows and serves as prey for large predators.
