Black Lechwe Hunting

The Black Lechwe (Kobus mejneri) is a rare subspecies of the common lechwe, recognized for its dark coat caused by a genetic mutation. It primarily inhabits marshy areas in Botswana and Zambia, notably the Bangweulu Swamps. Adapted to wetland life, they have elongated hooves for movement in water and vegetation. Social animals, they often feed in herds on grasses and aquatic plants. Conservation efforts are essential to protect them due to their popularity among hunters.
