	Hirola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hirola (Beatragus hunteri, sometimes Damaliscus hunteri also known as Hunter's Haartebeest) is found in arid grassy plains in a pocket on the border between Kenya and Somalia.
		Hirola are known as the "four-eyed antelope," due to their large preorbital glands.
		Hirola are critically endangered, there are between 500 and 1200 animals in the wild as well as a single female in captivity.

		Hirola are found in arid grassy plains where they eat, surprisingly enough, grass (grass: Narrow-leaved green herbage: grown as lawns; used as pasture for grazing animals; cut and dried as hay).
		Hirola are critically endangered, there are currently around 400 animals in the wild as well as a single female in captivity.
		The Hirola's decline is believed to have been brought on by competition with cattle (cattle: Domesticated bovine animals as a group regardless of sex or age) as well as the drought (drought: A temporary shortage of rainfall) which has plagued the region.

		Counts in the 1970's estimated the hirola population to be close to 14,000 animals, but by 1983, only about 7,000 were believed to exist.
		More often, however, the hirola is placed in the subgenus Beatragus, which both allies it with the topi and accentuates its uniqueness.

		KWS invited the wrath of the residents in 1996 when it translocated 36 Hirola antelopes to Tsavo National Park, after classifying the animal as an endangered species in accordance with World Conservancy Union regulations.
		Hirola is perhaps the only species that researchers are yet to establish its reasons for being extinct in the rest of the continent.

		Multidirectional chromosome painting between the Hirola antelope (Damaliscus hunteri, Alcelaphini, Bovidae), sheep and human.
		Chromosome specific painting probes of human, sheep and the Hirola antelope (Damaliscus hunteri) derived by flow sorting of chromosomes were used in multi directional chromosome painting experiments to better define the karyological relationship within Bovidae species (specifically, Caprini and Alcelaphini tribes) and humans.
		Although not all chromosomes of Damaliscus hunteri could be resolved into single peaks by flow-sorting we managed to present a complete homology map for chromosomes between the three species.
