  AWF: Wildlife: Topi
The topi is a medium-sized antelope with a striking reddish-brown to purplish-red coat.
Topis are exceptionally gregarious and live in herds of 15 to 20, although in some places it is possible to see herds of hundreds.
Topi are the swiftest of the ungulates, able to run at faster speeds than other similar antelope species.

  Topi
Topi have evolved so as to be able to stall the labour process in the event of a threat.
Topi are most famous for their sentry position, in which a single animal will stand on a termite mound for hours surveying the surrounding territory.
While on the move, topi have the odd habit of bobbing their heads, which has been suggested to be a "let's go!" motion derived from a threat gesture.
