bluebuck การใช้

• The largest mounted bluebuck specimen is tall at the withers.
• Most of these were found to represent the bluebuck and the roan antelope.
• Two of these only ever occurred within the fynbos biome : bluebuck and bontebok.
• There is an extinct species of antelope endemic to South Africa known as the bluebuck.
• The extinct bluebuck ( " Hippotragus leucophaeus " ) was known to graze these grasses.
• The bluebuck also lacked the contrasting black and white patterns seen on the heads of its relatives.
• The bluebuck was hunted to extinction by European settlers; in 1774 Thunberg noted that it was becoming increasingly rare.
• The study therefore concluded that the bluebuck is a distinct species, and not merely a subspecies of the roan antelope.
• The first published mention of the bluebuck is from 1681, and few descriptions of the animal were written while it existed.
• Akin to other grazing antelopes, the bluebuck may have calved mainly where rainfall, and thus the availability of grasses, peaked.
• Extinct species include several gazelles ( such as the Arabian gazelle ), the Malagasy hippopotamus, the bluebuck, and Schomburgk's deer.
• The quagga and bluebuck are extinct, although there is a project ( the Quagga Project ) to restore plains zebras with quagga-like markings.
• In 1996, an analysis of mitochondrial DNA extracted from a mounted specimen of the bluebuck that it was outside the clade containing the roan and sable antelopes.
• Around the time of its extinction, the bluebuck occurred in what would be known as the Overberg region ( Western Cape ), probably concentrated in Swellendam.
• In 1996, an analysis of mitochondrial DNA extracted from a mounted specimen of the bluebuck showed that it is outside the clade containing the roan and sable antelopes.
• Hunted by European settlers, the bluebuck became extinct around 1800; it was the first large African mammal to face extinction in historical times, followed by the quagga in 1883.
• The hunting of already limited species can easily lead to its extinction, as with the bluebuck whose range was confined to and was hunted into extinction soon after discovery by European settlers.
• The "'bluebuck "'( congeneric with the roan antelope and sable antelope ( belonging in the genus " Hippotragus " ), but was smaller than either.
• In 1974 the American biologist Richard G . Klein showed ( based on fossils ) that the bluebuck and roan antelope occurred Uniondale during the early Holocene, supporting their status as separate species.
• Other differences between the bluebuck and its extant relatives included its shorter and blunter ears not tipped with black, a darker tail tuft ( though little darker than its general colour ), and smaller teeth.
