Common Tsessebe
Damaliscus lunatus
Adult Common Tsessebes live in African grasslands, floodplains, and open savannas where short, nutritious grasses are available. They are grazing antelopes and often use elevated mounds or open sightlines to watch for danger. This species is among the fastest antelopes, and both sexes carry ridged, lyre-shaped horns, while males defend territories with displays and horn clashes.
