		The roan antelope was observed in 1801 by members of an expedition led by Somerville and Truter when three individuals were seen at a distance.
		In 1996 the roan antelope was classified as a low risk, conservation dependent species by the IUCN, however, the new (2004) IUCN red data book of the mammals of South Africa classifies it as vulnerable.

		The Roan cow, one or two weeks before giving birth, will leave the herd and choose a secluded spot where she will stay until the calf is born.

	Roan \| African Animals \| Roan Antelope \| Wildlife Safari.info.
		Roan Antelope are fairly gregarious, normally being found in herds of 6 - 12 animals; sometimes herds are larger (up to 25 individuals), with temporary aggregations of up to 80 on record.
		While Roan Antelope are not actually territorial, they have many attributes of a territorial species: the Roan Antelope bull is fiercely protective towards his harem and will ward off the attentions of a strange bull by clashing horns.
		The difference between the Roan Antelope and many other species is that the dominant male is defending his females from the attention of other males, and not a particular piece of turf.
