Common tsessebe
The common tsessebe or sassaby (''Damaliscus lunatus lunatus'') is one of five species of the subfamily Alcelaphinae in the family Bovidae. It is most closely related to the topi and korrigum (both subspecies), and the bontebok in the same genus. Tsessebe are found primarily in Angola, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, and South Africa.〔(''Damaliscus lunatus'' ), MSW3〕 Tsessebe can run at a maximum of 80 km/h.〔http://www.worldsafarixpeditions.com/game/game.php/1/780/1/11 African Game Guide Hartebeest Tiang〕
==Appearance==
Adult tsessebe are 150 to 230 cm in length. They are quite large animals, with males weighing 137 kg and females weighing 120 kg, on average. Their horns range from 37 cm for females to 40 cm for males. For males, horn size plays an important role in territory defense and mate attraction, although horn size is not positively correlated with territorial factors of mate selection.〔 Their bodies are chestnut brown. The fronts of their faces and their tail tufts are black; the forelimbs and thigh are greyish or bluish-black. Their hindlimbs are brownish-yellow to yellow and their bellies are white.〔 In the wild, tsessebe usually live a maximum of 15 years, but in some areas, their average lifespan is drastically decreased due to overhunting and the destruction of habitat.
