A large antelope, the hartebeest stands just over 1 m ( ft) at the shoulder, and has a typical head-and-body length of 200 to 250 cm (79 to 98 in).

Its legs, which often have black markings, are unusually long. The coat is generally short and shiny. Coat colour varies by the subspecies, from the sandy brown of the western hartebeest to the chocolate brown of the Swayne's hartebeest. Both sexes of all subspecies have horns, with those of females being more slender. Horns can reach lengths of 45–70 cm (18–28 in). Apart from its long face, the large chest and the sharply sloping back differentiate the hartebeest from other antelopes., 1700-1880
