Kudu

Kudu may be active throughout the 24-hour day. The large ears are extremely sensitive to noise, making these shy antelope difficult to approach. Under normal circumstance, kudu will sneak away and hide from potential enemies. When startled, however, they flee with large jumps with their tails rolled upwards and forwards. Kudu often stop and look back after a running for a short distance - a frequently fatal habit. Despite their large size, kudu are accomplished jumpers, with records of heights of over 2.5 meters / 8.25 feet being cleared with ease. Herds disperse during the rainy season when food is plentiful, while as the dry season reaches its peak, there becomes a high concentration in favourable areas. 

Greater kudu are not territorial, although they do have 'home' areas. Maternal herds have home ranges of approximately 4 square kilometers which overlap with those of other groups. Home ranges of adult males are about 11 square kilometers, and generally encompass the ranges of two or three female groups. Population densities vary from 1.9-3.2 animals per square kilometer. The spiral horns are so well developed for wrestling that they can sometimes become so severely interlocked that the two animals fighting cannot release each other, and thus both die. Greater kudu have a wide repertoire of vocalizations, including barks, grunts, hooting bleats, and a strangulated whimper. 

Zebra

Zebra are migrators by nature, moving between food and water sources and especially between burnt veld. Home ranges are thus large, unstable and temporary. Plains zebra are gregarious forming large herds of multiple closed family groups consisting of 4-12 individuals each. 

The herds moves through the home range as a temporary unit. In thick woodland or bushveld and on smaller land-units the larger aggregations are lost and the family groups are scattered across the habitat. Family bonding in the family groups are very tight and permanent and follow a strict hierarchy order of dominance. The plains zebra that are presently introduced, re-introduced, and spread across almost the entire of South Africa is predominantly the Chapman’s zebra E.q. antiquorum, and not the Burchell’s zebra as is still being refered to in the majority of literature and media

Blue Wildebeest

Blue Wildebeest coloration is extremely variable, from a deep slate or bluish gray, through light gray to a brown-grey. The underparts are slightly darker than the main coat. Dark brawn, vertical bands mark the neck and forequarters, and from a distance may seem to be wrinkles in the skin. Young are born tawny brown, and begin to their adult coloration at 2 months of age. There is a slight hump above the shoulders, with a slight slope in the body towards the rear. The front of the convex face is covered with bristly black hair. 

The long, horse-like tail is black, as is the mane which extends from the horns, over the nape to the shoulders. A flowing 'beard' is present in both sexes, and appears almost like a dewlap. While this is black in most races, the subspecies C. t. albojubatus and C. t. mearnsi have a conspicuous white beard. Both sexes posses horns, which are very similar in form to those of a female Cape Buffalo in that they are slightly broadened at the base and without ridges. Extending outwards to the side and then curving up and slightly inwards, they may grow 30-40 cm / 1-1.3 feet in females, while in males they may be up to 83 cm / 2.7 feet long along their curve.

Waterbuck

As it name would suggest, the waterbuck is a good swimmer and flees into water if pursued, although it is reported that they do not actually like going into water. At 7-9 months, males are driven from their maternal family and join up with a bachelor herd. These groups have a distinct social hierarchy based on size and strength, and contests are frequent. Around 6-7 years, males become territorial, staking out areas of 150-625 acres and defending them against mature rivals with posturing and fights. 

These territories are maintained throughout the year, and a male is generally overthrown before he reaches 10 years of age. Only about 5-10 % of mature males are territorial at the same time. Female groups wander over a home range of 200-600 hectares, which may be kept for up to 8 years and encompasses several male territories. Population densities in Uganda vary from 0.15-17.8 animals per square kilometer

Gemsbuck / Oryx

Gemsbuck / Oryx prefer near-desert conditions and can survive without water for long periods. 

They live in herds of up to 600 animals. Newborn calves are able to run with the herd immediately after birth. Both males and females possess permanent horns. 

The horns are narrow, and straight except in the Scimitar Oryx, where they curve backwards like a scimitar. The horns are lethal — the oryx has been known to kill lions with them— and oryxes are thus sometimes called the sabre antelope. 

The horns also make the animals a prized game trophy.

Sable

The Sable Antelope stands 120 to 140 centimetres at the shoulder and weigh 200 to 270 kilograms, males being larger than females. Female Sable Antelope are chestnut to dark brown darkening as they mature while males are very distinctively black. 

Both sexes have a white underbelly, white cheeks and a white chin. They have a shaggy mane on the back of their neck. Sable antelope have ringed horns which arch backward, in females these can reach a meter, but in males they can reach over one and a tenth meter. The life span of these animals is up to 18 years.

When sable antelopes are threatened by a predator, including lions, they will confront it, using their scimitar-shaped horns. Many of these big cats have died during such fights.
