dc.description.abstractA behavioral study on the red lechwe antelope (Kobus leche leche) was conducted at Double D Ranch, Bastrop County, Texas between July 1997 and August 1998. Habitat use, as well as the major behaviors, feeding, resting, and mating, of lechwe introduced in Texas were compared to that described for lechwe in Africa. Open grassland is the preferred habitat type for both African and Texas lechwe, but Texas lechwe, having lost fear and survival precautions of native African lechwe, use forest also. Water, used 18% of the time by lechwe, was an important part of their habitat. Lechwe lived in harmony with other exotic ungulates and, for the most part, Texas wildlife. Lechwe adapt well to alternate diets and breed well on game ranches, though fighting between dominant males can be severe.
