The alcelaphus, also known as the hartebeest, is a fascinating and diverse species of antelope. It encompasses various subspecies, each with its own unique characteristics and conservation status. One such subspecies is the Addax antelope (Addax nasomaculatus), which unfortunately finds itself critically endangered. This majestic creature's population has been severely depleted due to habitat loss and hunting pressures. Another subspecies that once roamed the earth but is now extinct is the Bubal hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus). Its existence can only be witnessed through lithographs like Karl Joseph Brodtmann's from Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836. In more recent times, we have had the privilege of observing Coke's hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus cokii) in their natural habitat. A heartwarming sight was captured in Lualenyi, Tsavo, Kenya when a mother hartebeest was seen nurturing her calf on September 12th, 2018. While some subspecies thrive today, others face significant threats. The Red hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) continues to roam African grasslands but must navigate challenges such as poaching and habitat fragmentation. The Swaynes hartebeest (Alcephalus busephalus swaynei) seeks refuge within Senkelle Swaynes Hartebeest Sanctuary. This protected area serves as a sanctuary for this particular subspecies whose numbers have dwindled over time. Sadly, there are also other antelope species that have gone extinct like the Corine antelope (Antelope corinna). Their presence can only be imagined through historical records or artistic depictions.
