Topi — size comparison — facts and sources
The topi is an African antelope of open plains and savannas. Glossy reddish-brown hair has distinct darker areas on the shoulders and thighs. Its head is shorter than a hartebeest’s. Adult males are usually darker.
It eats almost entirely grasses and lives in herds. Males may defend territories and use termite mounds as elevated lookout points, improving views across flat country.
