Description: The early travellers found the blue antelope only in relatively well-watered country, which suggests that, like the roan and sable, it had to drink regularly. Also like the roan andsable, the blue antelope apparently lived in small herds of up to twenty individuals, and it was primarily a grass-eater or grazer that sometimes fed on the same pastures as sheep.

Bluebuck

Wildlife enthusiasts have long admired the roan and sable antelopes for their
graceful, horse-like bodies and sweeping, scimitar-like horns. The roan
(Hippotragus equinus) once enjoyed an enormous distribution in the savannas
and woodlands surrounding the west African rainforest, from Gambia east to
western Ethiopia. then south to southwestern Tanzania, and from there west to
the Angolan coast, southwest to northern Namibia, and southeast to Swaziland.
The early travellers found the blue antelope only in relatively well-watered
country, which suggests that, like the roan and sable, it had to drink
regularly. Also like the roan and sable, the blue antelope apparently lived in
small herds of up to twenty individuals, and it was primarily a grass-eater or
grazer that sometimes fed on the same pastures as sheep.  Predators include
lions, leopards, wild dogs, hyenas and crocodiles. Sometimes they associate
with herds of gnus, buffalos, zebras and oryx antelopes. In zoos, they are fed
grass hay, herbivore pellets, and carrots.
