Animal
of the Month: Welcome the Bontebok
New Species on Exhibit at Fossil Rim
Fossil
Rim welcomes three Bontebok, Damaliscus pygargus.
You will find them in the Game Preserve, the same pasture
as
the giraffes.
These animals come from Southern Africa and are very similar
to our Blesbok, Damaliscus dorcus phillipsi, found
in the front pasture. continued |

Perfect Match
This
note and picture came from one of our frequent visitors.
Thank you, Roberta, for sharing.
This
is a picture of two zebras standing next to each
other and their stripes matched so well. It was so
amazing to me when I took the picture. I go to Fossil
Rim several times a year. The last time I went in
December was for my birthday and my son and his girlfriend
took me for a surprise. He knows I love it there
and thought it would be a good day out for me. I
have a folder on my computer with hundreds of pictures
I have taken there over the past couple of years.
Fossil Rim is one of my very favorite places to go
and spend a day. Thanks for the wonderful place to
go and enjoy a day.

| Q:
What
is the difference between a Bontebok and a Blesbok?
A: The
primary differences are that the bontebok
has a continuous ‘blaze’ while
the blesbok’s has a slight interruption. The
bontebok has a noticeable white patch on the rump while
this is mostly absent in the blesbok.
