Botlierskop: New Arrivals!

We have some new, very precious Bontebokkies!

Did you know the Bontebok was once considered to be the rarest antelope in the world? Thankfully, careful conservation has ensured its survival. Today the Bontebok is only found in protected areas in South Africa (and we're one of them!). 
The hair is soft and has an iridescent sheen to it. The body colour is a deep purple-red with a white blaze on the face, and they have a white tail.
The horns are well developed in both male and females, and are angular and ringed - the horns grow up to 18 inches in length.

We think the babies are just too cute! 

Keep an eye out on Twitter @Botlierskop and Facebook for any more news...
