The oribi (Bovidae: Antilopinae: Ourebiini: I Ourebia ourebi i [Zimmermann, [26]]) is a small antelope distributed widely across open woody grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa (Goldspink, Holland, Sweet, & Stewart, [13]), especially in hilly open-broadleaf savanna and primarily feeds on herbaceous vegetation (Monfort & Monfort, [19]). The observation of an individual female oribi with a light-coloured pelage was made incidentally during fieldwork on 18 November 2018 at 1:55 p.m. in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, in the vicinity of Lobo at an elevation of approximately 1700 m asl viewed from the main road between Seronera and Klein's Gate. Increases in food availability can tempt oribi antelope into taking greater risks at both large and small spatial scales. [Extracted from the article]
