This has always been a topic for debate amongst my family members. So I thought... I have photos of both species, let's see if I can spot the differences between a Bontebok (image 1 and 3) and a Blesbok (image 2 and 4). Anyone that studies #zoology is welcome to check me as this comes from someone who is purely a nature lover. So, after looking at them for a while. I noticed the following differences: 1) Bontebok has a much larger white patch on its rear end, compared to a Blesbok's. 2) Bontebok's's lower legs are almost completely white, where the Blesbok has black markings on its lower legs. 3) The blesbok has a much more substantial opening below its eyes, that look almost like a second eye. Where as in my Bontebok photo it seems to be completely missing. 4) Blesbok have much more visible, almost crazy looking eyes where as a Bontebok's's is barely visible. 5) In the Juvenile antelope it is much easier to spot the difference. With a young blesbok having a black marking on its face and a Bontebok already having the white marking. If you have been battling to spot the difference, like I have. I hope this info helps you and I will appreciate any details that I may have missed out on, as you can never know too much. You can only continue to learn more. #safari #educational #natgeo #menselense #southafrica https://www.instagram.com/p/BopQsL5nB0T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b34nktftx0mk
