Rhodesia Philately: 1974 Third Definitive Issue – 3c Roan Antelope

The long-legged sauntering walk and proudly nodding head at once suggest a thoroughbred, while the exceptionally haughty bearing marks this antelope as one of the ‘royals’ among big game. Savannah country well studded with thorn trees and scrub mixed with mopane trees are favoured by the Roan Antelope (Ozanna equina equina).
