 The bluebuck (Afrikaans: blaubok pronounced / ˈblau ̇ ˌbäk /) or blue antelope (Hippotragus leucophaeus) is an extinct species of antelope that lived in South Africa until around 1800. It is congeneric with the roan antelope and sable antelope, but was smaller than either. It was sometimes considered a subspecies of the roan, but a genetic study has confirmed it as a distinct species.
