a herd of deer running across a dry grass field

Lechwe in their mature state usually reach a shoulder height ranging from 90 to 100 cm (35 to 39 inches) and carry a weight typically falling between 50 to 120 kg (110 to 260 lbs), with the males exhibiting a greater size compared to their female counterparts. Adorned in a golden-brown coat with contrasting white underbellies, these elegant creatures showcase a variation in color intensity among males, displaying a spectrum of hues and degrees of blackish pigmentation on their front legs, chest, and body, all subject to the nuances of their specific subspecies.
