LIVINGSTONE'S SUNI 



The Grysbok is deep chocolate-red or dark rufous- 

 brown on the back ; paler on the chest and under 

 parts. The fur is rather long and coarse, and is 

 plentifully interspersed with white hairs on the back. 

 A black patch is present on the crown. Small false 

 or supplementary hoofs are visible, and the true 

 hoofs are shorter and broader than those of the 

 Steenbok. The horns, although like those of the 

 Steenbok in shape, are stouter, shorter, and more 

 curved forwards. 



A male Grysbok averages 20 inches in height at 

 the shoulder, and is about an inch higher at the 

 rump. 



The white hairs on the back of the Grysbok serve 

 to distinguish it from the typical Steenbok of the 

 Cape ; but this is not a reliable guide, because Sharpe's 

 Steenbok of the Transvaal is also stippled profusely 

 on the back with white hairs. When any doubt 

 exists, the feet should be examined, and if small 

 false hoofs are found to be present, the antelope 

 will be a Grysbok, for none of the Steenboks have 

 any trace of false hoofs.
