Both males and females have horns, the males horns are thicker at the base.They enjoy open savannah areas
and open woodlands.The Red Hartebeest is the second fastest antelope and can reach speeds of up to
80km per hour. They also have a lot of stamina and run for vast distances. They are a fairly
tough animal so shot placement is quite important, and due to their stamina it is better to
drop them immediately than let them run off, as it could be quite a distance to find them.They are
quite inquisitive animals which makes stalking a little easier, as they will often stand still
to have a look around.
