Not only do they have a sheepish look, I am sure that they belong to the family of the goats

What is the difference between tsessebe and red hartebeest? Apart from the horns.

They belong all to the subfamily Alcelaphinae which have the sloping profile and horns in boths sexes.
They are very similar, the horns are more or less open and come in slightly different shapes, some species are larger and the colouration is different.
The closest relatives of the Tssessebe are Blesbok and Bontebok (all members of the genus
Damaliscus)
