The male blue antelope is larger than the female antelope, about 2.5 ~ 3 meters long, while the female antelope is 2.3 ~ 2.8 meters long. Their shoulder height is 1 ~ 1.2m and their weight is 160kg. Antlers are about 50 ~ 6 1 cm long.
/kloc-the colonial description of the blue wildebeest in the 0 th and 8 th centuries is contradictory, because some have made some modifications, and some are only based on hearsay data. It has been described that the blue wildebeest has a long beard and tail like a goat, its horns stand upright like Stegosaurus, and its ears are very short, but they also sent its skull and fur back to Europe. At 1967, we can know from the four existing specimens that their shoulder height is about1.02 ~1.16m. Adult blue wildebeests rarely weigh more than 160 kg. None of the four specimens has blue fur, and dark skin and fur color may make people feel blue. Like other antelopes, the blue antelope has six teeth on each side of the upper and lower jaws, and three premolars are next to three molars. We can distinguish them from the remains of red antelope by the size and proportion of their molars and premolars.
Blue antelope is a large antelope with a horse-like figure, which is smaller than red antelope and black antelope. Their body proportions are similar to those of the southern deer antelope. Their noses are long, their necks are long and strong, their manes are short, their feet are long and white, there are black spots in front, and their tails reach their ankles. Their ears are long and sharp, like donkeys
The antlers of the blue wildebeest just grow on the eye socket, long and crescent-shaped, protruding at right angles from the skull, and then bending back to the shoulders without any distortion in the middle. There are 20 ~ 35 rings from the whole corner to the corner end, more than wildebeest. Their horns are lighter and less dense than those of red antelope and black antelope.
Blue antelope's fur is short and shiny, light blue to gray, and will fade to blue-gray after death. Their bellies are white, which is not obviously different from the coat color on both sides. The forehead and snout are brown and gradually fade to the sides and mouth. There are obvious white spots in front of your eyes.
The male blue antelope looks like a female antelope before the age of 3, and then it will become lighter, even almost white, and its horns will become bigger and curved. The angle of the female antelope does not change much, and it is thinner than that of the male antelope 10 ~ 20%. The 2-month-old gazelle is yellowish brown with no obvious markings.
