Roan antelope

The sable's paler cousin and the antelope most often mistaken for it. A roan's upper body is a grizzled gray to roan color with darker legs and white underparts, and its face carries a black-brown and white mask, lighter in females. The two clinchers are the long tufts of dark hair on the tips of the ears and the horns: ringed and arched in both sexes like a sable's, but much shorter, at 2 to 3.3 feet. Roan live in lightly wooded country and grassland across much of central Africa and never move more than about 2.5 miles from water, so a waterhole in open woodland is the place to wait.
