Abstract

Diets of hartebeest ( Alcelaphus buselaphus ) and roan antelope ( Hippotragus equinus ) were assessed at the Nazinga Game Ranch in southern Burkina Faso, West Africa.

As the hot-dry season progressed and food presumably became less available, diets of the two antelopes diverged. Hartebeest maintained a high percentage of grass in their diet, but roan antelope switched from being predominantly grazers (>95% grass) to mixed feeders (
