Gemsboks are Some Of The Most-Hunted Antelope In Africa
Hunters prize them for their long, curved horns, often turned into trophies or other ornamental objects. Although they’re a species of least concern on the IUCN Red List, there have been large declines in several parts of their range. They’re most susceptible to hunting, climate change, habitat destruction, and livestock overgrazing.
Identifying Characteristics
