antelope

They are made from the skin of a lechwe antelope by the Batwa men and worn by the women or used by the women to protect their babies from the elements.

In a world first, wildlife researchers have snapped and published a photo of one of the most endangered African animals - a rare and relatively unknown antelope called the Upemba Lechwe.

As the animals travel they will grow in number and species including elephants, giraffes, antelope and lions.

The African habitat - which was built in 2001 - is home to reticulated giraffes, maneless zebras, white rhinos, ostriches, crowned cranes and a greater kudu - a type of antelope.

These early hominins would have seen giant cranes, ancient horses and antelopes—and, possibly, each other, according to a new study of their intermingled footprints published today in Science.
