Hartebeest

Meet the hartebeest, one of the most peculiar-looking antelopes on the African savanna! It has a long, narrow face, high shoulders, and a back that slopes down to its lower hips, making it look like it's always leaning forward.

But this unique shape is perfect for running! The hartebeest is not the fastest antelope, but it is a champion of endurance, able to run at a steady, loping pace for miles and miles to escape danger. They live in herds, munching on grass, and their name even means "tough ox," which fits this sturdy and resilient animal perfectly.
