This antelope is the Cape Hartebeest (Bubalis canna). Bubalis cama or Alcelaphus cama of naturalists; but the name hartebeest has been extended to include all the numerous members of the same genus, some of which are to be found in every part of Africa, while one or two extend into Syria. Some of the species of the allied genus Damaliscus, such as Hunter's antelope (D. hunteri), are also often called hartebeests. (See ANTELOPE.)
