The Bubal hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus) was a large, now-extinct antelope native to North Africa. Known for its sandy coat, sloping back, and distinctively curved horns, it thrived in arid grasslands and desert edges. Once forming herds across Morocco to Egypt, the species was driven to extinction in the early 20th century due to overhunting and habitat loss. This miniature captures the elegance and history of a lost species, making it perfect for wildlife dioramas, historical displays, or extinct animal collections.
