The black antelope is a large African mammal with powerful horns. Males are covered in black fur, females in brown, and both sexes have long curved horns.
The black antelope differs from other antelopes in the dark coloration of adult males and very long horns. It is important for nature because it eats grass in the savanna and serves as prey for lions and leopards.
