Hirola :: Beatragus hunteri

Bad at Goodbyes :: Episode 081

On today’s show we learn about the Hirola, a critically endangered land mammal, an antelope, native to to eastern Africa, specifically Kenya and Somalia, with two subpopulations, one within the Tsavo East National Park in Kenya, and another in unprotected land on the Somali-Kenyan border in Garissa County, Kenya. Its scientific name is Beatragus hunteri, and it was first described in 1889.

For more information about Hirola conservation please see the Hirola Conservation Program at https://www.hirolaconservation.org
