Bubal hartebeest (SciiFii)

The bubal hartebeest, also known as northern hartebeest or bubal antelope or simply bubal (Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus) is the nominal (i.e., first described) subspecies of hartebeest is native throughout the grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands north of the Saharan Desert. This subspecies was once extinct since 1925, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced back to its former range to help boost biodiversity. The bubal hartebeest is covered in uniformly sand colored, save for "an ill-defined patch of greyish on each side of the muzzle above the nostrils", and the terminal tuft of the tail, which is black. The bubal hartebeest is similar to the plain colored Lelwel hartebeest, lacking white or black facial markings such as those present in the Western and Swayne's hartebeest. It measures 43 inches at the shoulder and the horns are 'U' shaped when seen from the front. The conservation status of the bubal hartebeest is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the bubal hartebeest is making a comeback.
