Alcelaphus buselaphus (Pallas, 1766)

狷羚(學名:Alcelaphus buselaphus)是一種生活在草原地帶的羚羊,出沒在西非、東非、南非等地區。牠也是唯一歸入狷羚属的動物。 狷羚立高約為1.5米,體重約120-200公斤。雄性狷羚為深褐色,雌性則為黃褐色。雄性及雌性狷羚的角的形狀也是先向外曲,再向前,並且向後尖。角的長度可達70厘米。 狷羚生活在草原或一些灌木林地,以短草為食物。牠們是日間活動,在早上及黃昏時段覓食。族群數目約5-20頭,有些甚至達到350頭的數目。族群由一頭雄性狷羚所帶領,領袖的狷羚是經過打鬥而產生的。 在狷羚下,有以下7個亞種: 北非狷羚(Bubal Hartebeest,學名為Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus,已絕種。) 披紅狷羚(Red (Cape) Hartebeest,學名為Alcelaphus buselaphus caama。) 柯氏狷羚(Coke Hartebeest,學名為Alcelaphus buselaphus cokii。) Lelwel Hartebeest,學名為Alcelaphus buselaphus lelwel。 Western Hartebeest,學名為Alcelaphus buselaphus major。 Swayne Hartebeest,學名為Alcelaphus buselaphus swaynei。 Tora Hartebeest,學名為Alcelaphus buselaphus tora。 另外,亦有發現部份亞種互相交配混種所生的品種: Kenya Highland Hartebeest:是由Lelwel Hartebeest與柯氏狷羚混種而生。 Neumann Hartebeest:於伊索匹亞發現,是Lelwel Hartebeest與Swayne Hartebeest混種所生。 除了以上的亞種外,部份學者把利氏麋羚(Lichtenstein's Hartebeest)分類為狷羚的一個亞種,並以Alcelaphus lichtensteinii命名。 在轉角牛羚屬中,有兩個品種亦被稱為狷羚的: 鄂氏牛羚(Korrigum或稱Senegal Hartebeest,其學名為Damaliscus lunatus korrigum。) Tiang (Tiang Hartebeest),其學名為Damaliscus lunatus tiang。
