The African Blesbok (or Blesbuck) is a large antelope found in the southern region of Africa. Blesbok coloration is often a deep sienna or dark brown through the back, with a white blaze found on the face, and a creamy white running down the underbelly, flank and parts of the legs. The White Blesbok, however, has little to no brown coloration, and is often a creamy white and tan color throughout the entire body. Both the male and female have 'ringed' horns that initially curve backward, with a forward curl towards the tip, and commonly weigh between 125-175 lbs. Blesbok's preferred habitat includes open plains and grasslands with sources for water. When trying to escape from predators, Blesbok can run at speeds exceeding 40 mph.Record Book Score Classes for the Blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi) Safari Club International Boone & Crocket Pope & Young Standard Bow Standard Bow Gold - 46'Silver - 43 6/8'Bronze - 40' Gold - 44 7/
