THE ZULULAND SUNI 



November to the middle of December, and are 

 darker than the parents. 



When alarmed this little antelope will usually 

 bound off for about a hundred yards and stand 

 to listen and watch. Should the bush be rather 

 thin, the observer may be able to watch its erratic 

 flight till it stands, by dropping on one knee, so 

 as to see more clearly under the branches. 



Like the Grysbok they are delicate little creatures 

 and easily killed. 



Livingstone's Antelope averages 1 6 inches in height 

 at the shoulder, and is rich rufous-brown or light 

 red-fawn on the back, paling towards pure white 

 on the under parts, the insides of the limbs, chest, 

 throat and chin. 



The female is hornless. 



THE ZULULAND SUNI 



(Nesotragus zulucnsis) 



The Zululand form of the Suni has been set apart 

 as a distinct species by naturalists, owing principally 

 to it being larger, the colouring richer, and the 

 fetlocks blacker than in the typical species. In the 

 typical form the hair is not so deep in colour, and 

 presents a more or less grizzled-fawn appearance. 

 The fetlocks only show light indications of black. 



It is known to the Zulus as the Inhlengana. 



This species of Suni frequents the wooded parts
