THE GREY OR VAAL RHEBOK 



of bare patches below the ears, serve at once to dis- 

 tinguish this antelope from the other members of 

 the sub-family, viz. the Reedbucks. 



The Vaal Rhebok averages 28 to 30 inches in 

 height at the shoulder. 



The prevailing colour of the fur is grey with a 

 tendency to fawn on the head and limbs, and in 

 shape it is slight and graceful. The tail is short, 

 broad and bushy. 



The ewes are usually a couple of inches lower at 

 the shoulder than adult rams, and are hornless.
