Western hartebeest are generally not aggressive, but they will fight to protect their young or their claimed area. Males claim areas of plains averaging 31 ha (0.31 km 2), for periods of four to five years. Males protect their claimed area fiercely. Males have been known to go without water to protect their territory. [4]
In this case the subspecies was similar to the plain colored Lelwel hartebeest, lacking white or black facial markings such as those present in the Western and Swayne's hartebeest. It measured 43 inches at the shoulder and the horns were U-shaped when seen from the front. Like other hartebeests, the bubal was a social animal.
