The Roan is one of Africa's largest antelopes, characterized by a reddish-brown coat, long pointed ears with tufted tips, and majestic curved horns that sweep backward. The face often has contrasting black and white markings.
Roans prefer savanna woodlands and grassland habitats. They are spread across various parts of Africa, especially in countries like Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana, and the Central African Republic.
Beyond its size, the Roan's facial markings, the distinctive mane which runs from the back of the neck to the mid-back, and their long, tasseled ears make them unique among antelopes.
Roan antelopes are wary and have sharp senses. Their habitats often require hunters to approach through tall grasses, making visibility and stealth a challenge.
Given the size of the Roan, a medium to high-caliber rifle, such as a .300 or .375, would be recommended.
