Upper parts bright fawn, wide dark band on the side with pronounced facial markings.
Horns are long, only slightly curved, and smaller and slender in females.
Like most antelope, males are larger than females. Females have horns to defend their feeding area, since their food resources are often in short supply. During the breeding season males establish territories and mate with females within their territory. Non-breeding males form bachelor herds. Outside the breeding season there is a mixing of the groups.
