ROAN
The Roan (Hippotragus equinus) is one of the largest of all antelope species. They have noticeable red nostrils, light beards and short manes.They look similar to the Sable antelope but they are lighter than the Sable, being a dark brown instead of a black colour. They live in herds of up to 15 members and the male Roans often fight against the other males for dominance.
