), but with the tips turned sharply backward. Hartebeest species broadly speaking divide into a “heavily armed” and a “lightly armed” group. This species belongs to the heavily armed group, whereas the Bubal Hartebeest belonged to the lightly armed group. Greatest skull length is 47-528 cm in males; horn span is 64-83% of basal length in males; and least frontal width is 76-87% of biorbital width. In robusticity, as measured by skull weight,this species is comparatively less sexually dimorphic than most other hartebeest, and it also has a low degree of sexual dimorphism in pedicle height. The pelage color is uniform tan brown, with no dark markings except on the lower forelegs and a black tail tuft. Some individuals have a thin white band between the eyes.

The breeding season is relatively extended (more than three months), more than in any other species except for the Kongoni (A. cokii), and this has been linked to its relatively low degree of sexual dimorphism in skull weight and pedicle height; fighting need not be as intense as in a species with a short breeding season.

). There are thought to be about 36,000 animals remaining, with more than 95% living in and around protected areas. Hunting levels are high, and many populations have undergone declines. Habitat fragmentation and competition with livestock further complicate the conservation of the Western Hartebeest.
