Its much larger size (height at shoulder about 4 feet 9 inches), the 

 shorter horns and mane, the larger ears and eye-tufts, and, above all, 

 the grizzled roan coat, render the present species easily distinguishable 

 from its sable cousin. A marked character of the face of the roan 

 antelope is the cutting-off of the white eye-stripe from the muzzle by 

 a transverse dark bar connecting the dark nose-streak with the brown 

 of the cheeks ; while the dark nose-streak itself likewise stops short of 

 the muzzle, which is thus wholly white. Weight about 625 Ibs.
