Received 5 September 2008. Accepted 21 January 2010 The giant sable (Hippotragus niger variani ) is one of Africa’s most spectacular large antelope. Years of civil unrest in Angola, a highly localized distribution and interbreeding with its congener the roan antelope (H. equinus) has led to this subspecies being considered as critically endangered. Sable antelope occurring ~600 km to the east in western Zambia superficially resemble giant sable in phenotype, prompting speculation in the popular media that the distribution of giant sable may be larger than currently documented. Our aim here was to investigate the evolutionary placement of western Zambian sable using mitochon- drial DNA control region data. Phylogenetic analyses (maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses) supported the monophyly of H. n. variani (Bayesian posterior probability of >0.95, bootstrap support >80%) and nested the western Zambian sable within H. n. niger. This find- ing was supported by an analysis of molecular variance that discretely grouped western F Zambian sable from giant sable ( ST = 0.645, P = 0.001).

  • Hippotragus Equinus – Roan Antelope
    Hippotragus equinus – Roan Antelope authorities as there may be no significant genetic differences between the two. Many of the Roan Antelope in South Africa are H. e. cottoni or equinus x cottoni (especially on private properties). Assessment Rationale This charismatic antelope exists at low density within the assessment region, occurring in savannah woodlands and grasslands. Currently (2013–2014), there are an observed 333 individuals (210–233 mature) existing on nine formally protected areas within the natural distribution range. Adding privately protected subpopulations and an Cliff & Suretha Dorse estimated 0.8–5% of individuals on wildlife ranches that may be considered wild and free-roaming, yields a total mature population of 218–294 individuals. Most private Regional Red List status (2016) Endangered subpopulations are intensively bred and/or kept in camps C2a(i)+D*†‡ to exclude predators and to facilitate healthcare. Field National Red List status (2004) Vulnerable D1 surveys are required to identify potentially eligible subpopulations that can be included in this assessment. Reasons for change Non-genuine: While there was an historical crash in Kruger National Park New information (KNP) of 90% between 1986 and 1993, the subpopulation Global Red List status (2008) Least Concern has since stabilised at c. 50 individuals. Overall, over the past three generations (1990–2015), based on available TOPS listing (NEMBA) Vulnerable data for nine formally protected areas, there has been a CITES listing None net population reduction of c. 23%, which indicates an ongoing decline but not as severe as the historical Endemic Edge of Range reduction. Further long-term data are needed to more *Watch-list Data †Watch-list Threat ‡Conservation Dependent accurately estimate the national population trend.

  • Common Eland
    Tragelaphus oryx – Common Eland recognised, though their validity has been in dispute (Thouless 2013): Tragelaphus o. livingstonii (Sclater 1864; Livingstone's Eland): also called kaufmanni, niediecki, selousi and triangularis. It is found in the Central Zambezian Miombo woodlands i.e. south- central Africa (Angola, Zambia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi). Livingstone's Eland has a brown pelt with up to twelve stripes. Tragelaphus o. oryx (Pallas 1766; Cape Eland): also called alces, barbatus, canna and oreas. This subspecies is found south of the Zambezi river (South Africa, Botswana and Namibia). The fur is tawny, and adults lose their stripes. Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern Tragelaphus o. pattersonianus (Lydekker 1906; East National Red List status (2004) Least Concern African Eland or Patterson's Eland): also called Reasons for change No change billingae. It is found in east Africa extending into the Somali arid areas, hence its common name. Its coat Global Red List status (2008) Least concern can have up to 12 stripes. TOPS listing (NEMBA) None Tragelaphus o. oryx occurs throughout the larger part of South Africa, but the far northern Limpopo Province CITES listing None bordering Zimbabwe is regarded as a transitional zone Endemic No between T. o. oryx and T. o. livingstonii or an area where they overlap. This argues the case that they should rather During drought conditions Eland roam extensively be described as ecotypes (in ecotypes, it is common for in order to meet forage and water requirements; in continuous, gradual geographic variation to impose the southern Kalahari during abnormally dry analogous phenotypic and/or genetic variation; this conditions, Eland were found to cover more than situation is called cline.).

  • Copy of Roan Antelope Project
    Roan Antelope Project Roan Antelope (Hippotragus equines) are Africa’s second largest antelope after the eland. Historically they were widely distributed in small herds over a large part of Swaziland. They became locally extinct when Swaziland’s very last free­ranging roan antelope was poached at Maphiveni in 1961. Roan have become extremely rare across their entire natural range. The reason for their demise is probably a combination of factors which include poaching, diminishing range, stress­induced disease, predation, and competition by high density species. A small group of 4 roan (3 females, 1 bull) reintroduced to Mkhaya from Namibia perished because, we now believe, the animals were naïve to tick­borne diseases in a densely tick hostile environment where mortalities overwhelmed recruitment. It is likely that the tick­borne Theileria hippotragi disease played a large role. Theileria is a protozoal disease which is fatal to roan and sable antelope. The expertise of Dr Johan Steyl under the supervision of Prof. Leon Prozesky of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Faculty of the University of Pretoria has helped enormously with this project. The vector is the red­legged tick Rhipicephalus evertsi, which is abundant in Swaziland, but little was known about its impact on wildlife at the time of the Namibian introduction. Our Roan Antelope project got underway in 2002 after Dr Hamish Currie, founder and chief executive of Back to Africa, very generously committed to assist in restoring a viable population of roan antelope to Swaziland. Dr Hamish Currie wisely harnessed the expertise of Dr Johan Steyl whose guidance has without doubt been pivotal to the success of the project so far.

  • Antelope (Includes Sables, Impalas, and Elands)
    Antelope (includes Sables, Impalas, and Elands) Range: antelope species can be found in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East Habitat: varies widely, from savanna to woodlands to marshes and swamps to desert, depending on the species It’s about horns and hooves Horns— All antelope species have horns, although in some species they are only found on the males. The horns are made of a bony core, encased in a hard material made largely of keratin. They are permanently attached—not like a deer’s antlers, which are shed each year. Some antelope horns, like those of the kudu Tragelaphus sp. and eland Taurotragus sp., twist in interesting spirals; others have ridges, like those of the impala Aephyceros melampus and the sable antelope Hippotragus niger; and others grow in wide curves with a sharp point on the end, like those of the wildebeest Connochaetes sp. (also called the gnu, a name it gets from its call, which sounds like “ge-nu”). Antelope use their horns in defense against predators; males and sometimes females also use them to establish their position in a herd or to fight rivals Hooves— Hooves are another specialty for many antelope. Each hoof has a split down the middle, dividing the hoof into two “toes.” Because they live in wetlands and swamps, sitatungas Tragelaphus spekeii have wide hooves up to 7 inches (18 centimeters) across that help them walk on mud and mats of plants without slipping. Nile lechwes Kobus magaceros, which also live in swampy areas, have long, pointed hooves to give them sure footing in the water.

  • The U.K. Hunter Who Has Shot More Wildlife Than the Killer of Cecil the Lion
    CAMPAIGN TO BAN TROPHY HUNTING Special Report The U.K. hunter who has shot more wildlife than the killer of Cecil the Lion SUMMARY The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting is revealing the identity of a British man who has killed wild animals in 5 continents, and is considered to be among the world’s ‘elite’ in the global trophy hunting industry. Malcolm W King has won a staggering 36 top awards with Safari Club International (SCI), and has at least 125 entries in SCI’s Records Book. The combined number of animals required for the awards won by King is 528. Among his awards are prizes for shooting African ‘Big Game’, wild cats, and bears. King has also shot wild sheep, goats, deer and oxen around the world. His exploits have taken him to Asia, Africa and the South Pacific, as well as across Europe. The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting estimates that around 1.7 million animals have been killed by trophy hunters over the past decade, of which over 200,000 were endangered species. Lions are among those species that could be pushed to extinction by trophy hunting. An estimated 10,000 lions have been killed by ‘recreational’ hunters in the last decade. Latest estimates for the African lion population put numbers at around 20,000, with some saying they could be as low as 13,000. Industry groups like Safari Club International promote prizes which actively encourage hunters to kill huge numbers of endangered animals. The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting believes that trophy hunting is an aberration in a civilised society.

  • Abiotic and Anthropogenic Factors Affecting the Distribution of Four Sympatric Large Herbivores in the Mole National Park, Ghana
    VOL.Ghana 59 J. Sci. 59 (2018), 23 - 30 GHANA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjs.v59i1.223 ABIOTIC AND ANTHROPOGENIC FACTORS AFFECTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF FOUR SYMPATRIC LARGE HERBIVORES IN THE MOLE NATIONAL PARK, GHANA K. B. DAKWA Department of Conservation Biology and Entomology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Coast, Ghana Email: [email protected] /[email protected] Abstract The impact of abiotic and anthropogenic factors on the distributions of buffalo (Syncerus caffer), harte- beest (Alcelaphus buselaphus), roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) and waterbuck (Kobus defassa) at Mole National Park was assessed by transect survey. Generalized linear mixed effects logistic re- gression was used to model mammal presence/absence as a function of ecological factors. Hartebeest inhabited highlands and avoided floodplains but buffalo and roan avoided floodplains by selecting both lowlands and highlands while waterbuck inhabited lowlands but not necessarily the floodplains. Fire, water availability and anthropogenic activities were limiting factors, which constrained habitat use to make some areas unexplored for foraging. Buffalo, roan and hartebeest did not inhabit areas close to the park’s boundaries. Herbivores need optimal environment almost free of constraints to construct their distribution patterns. Therefore, management should address the problems identified in this study to ensure the herbivores’ redistribution to maximise their use of resources for their effective conservation. Introduction data on distribution of wildlife in a reserve, Mole National Park (MNP) was established conservation planning will remain inefficient in 1958 for the protection and conservation of and ineffective (Bauer et al., 2010).
