And today we will learn about the animal known as the "HARTEBEEST." 
INTRODUCTION
The hartebeest is one of the antelope family's naturally large creatures. These creatures are related to buffalo, wildebeest, blind, and other members of the same family. There are approximately eight (8) Hartebeest species, one of which is now extinct, and three of the other seven are thought to be in grave danger of extinction. Hartebeests are endemic to Africa and can be found throughout the continent, particularly in eastern, western, and southern Africa. The population of these animals has been falling due to a variety of circumstances, which we shall go over in depth in the section on the issues they face.
The population of these animals has been falling due to a variety of circumstances, which we shall go over in depth in the section on the issues they face. As a result, I implore you to stay with me until the end of this article.
CHARACTERISTICS AND PRAISE OF THE HARTEBEEST
Because the front legs are longer than the hind legs, they are lifted at the shoulder rather than the back.
They have long legs, a short neck, a slender, long face with erect ears, and a slender, long face with upright ears. Because the front legs are longer than the back legs, these animals appear to have a slope on their back towards the back when standing.
The color of their bodies, as well as the mixture of colors that they wore,They have red, black, and occasionally even golden-colored feathers with long tails and brown lea on the upper side, which you can see if you look closely.
Males and females alike have horns that are close together at the base of the stalk, curled towards the front and top, and pointed inwards. Their horns have two to three rings that can differentiate one kongon from another, with female circles being thinner than male circles.
Female hartebeests reside in a single group, which includes of 5–12 mothers and children. This group of mothers is ruled by a man who becomes increasingly enraged as the reproductive cycle approaches. Males share a home. Especially for those males who have been kicked out of their maternal group.
Hartebeest are animals that can see better during the day than at night, and they spend much of their time looking for food and water. The animals look for a safe area to sleep in the evening and sleep there till the next morning.
The hartebeest is one of the antelopes with the capacity to run quickly. These creatures can run at speeds of 70-80 kilometers per hour, which comes in handy when they're being hunted by an opponent and need to flee.
HARTEBEEST (LONG, HEIGHT, AND WEIGHT)
Height = Hartebeests can reach a height of 160-215 cm, with a 30-70 cm tail.
The height of a Hartebeest can exceed 135 cm.
Weight is the difference in weight between two points. There is a little difference between male and female. Males are heavier than females, weighing 125-218 kg compared to 116-185 kg for females.
ENVIRONMENT
Open savanna environments, as well as woody and lush ones, are preferred by these animals. These animals occasionally travel to the deserts of the desert, especially after the rainy season has ended. Tanzania, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Botswana, and areas of Somalia's periphery are among the countries where animals do not play in great numbers.
GROWTH OF HARTEBEEST
Hartebeests, like other deer, are herbivores. These animals also prefer to drink water on a regular basis, even though they can survive drought and go without water for long periods of time during the dry season.
BIRTH OF HARTEBEEST
Before ascending to the position of group leader, There was a lot of conflict between guys and mothers and children. The male who wins the fight becomes the owner of a group of women and children. As soon as he becomes the group's leader, make sure he establishes boundaries in his territory to keep other males out. It sets boundaries with excrement while allowing all women and children under its authority to roam freely within the region without being allowed to leave.
In areas where animals begin to breed temporarily during the rainy season and ndo at this time and are enraged for not being able to find some to set their period. These geese become pregnant for 8 months after fertilization and give birth to chicks. There is only one child. Before giving birth, the woman departs the group and seeks refuge for the unborn child in a spot with lots of leaves or trees. Immediately after birth, the baby is hidden for around two weeks. After that, the baby gains the ability to run, and the group of moms and children grows, and the mother returns to the community with her baby.
Despite the fact that the infant joins the maternity group after two weeks, it is still breastfed for four months and spends three years with the mother. These lads are unable to make him their empire during this period, therefore they are forced to live in love with each other while making mistakes.
and When they give birth to hartebeest, like other quails, they lack the unity of the moms in the group, and as a result, every female is driven to have children who are alike, i.e. those from the same generation dwell together during the breeding season. a period of one to four years
Kongoni can live to be 11-20 years old in the wild, but he can live to be more than that in specialized zoos.
STORAGE
There are currently no explicit regulations for supplying these species with conservation measures. These creatures are still highly popular in their respective areas, particularly in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, which is a world heritage site, and this is talking about the yeast of wildlife conservation in Tanzania. sanctuaries for wildlife
These animals are classified as endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), despite the fact that three of the seven species that exist on the planet are the most threatened. However, due to a variety of factors, one of these animal species has become extinct in the wild.
According to a census conducted in 1999, there are only 362,000 hartebeest left on the African continent, with the presence of hartebeest species found primarily in southern Africa estimated to total 130,000 hartebeest, with 40% of this number living in privately owned areas and 25% in protected areas.
According to research conducted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), The number of these animals is decreasing every day as a result of different obstacles in determining the most effective preventative actions before the situation worsens.
HARTEBEEST'S ENEMIES
I'm referring to natural enemies, or those who must exist in order for an ecological balance to exist in the habitat in which these animals reside. Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Wolves, Foxes, and Hyenas are the principal predators of these animals in their natural habitat.
HUMAN BEINGS are the most deadly external adversary in the ecology of these creatures. Humans are, without a doubt, the greatest enemy of animals, and it is necessary to be cautious in dealing with them.
THREATS AND DIFFICULTIES FACING HARTEBEEST, ESPECIALLY IN TANZANIA
The greatest danger to these animals is Poaching in wildlife sanctuaries is at an all-time high. Hartebeest populations are rapidly falling due to widespread poaching, particularly due to high demand for wildlife and other raw products derived from these animals, such as horns, hides, and hooves. This predicament is also owing to a rise in the markets for illicit wildlife trading, which has substantially encouraged poachers to kill these animals as an investment, resulting in serious shortages for these animals.
Invasion and growth of dwelling areas. Many individuals are increasingly infiltrating animal sanctuaries and these wildlife sanctuaries to flee their homes, which is also a huge concern. As a result of this invasion, the environment has been depleted in vast numbers, and new requirements have arisen. For the hartebeest, ecological demands are something that keeps them in a condition of worry and hunger for a long time. It gets to the point where some of the others are segregated from the hartebeest because there is an interaction of human settlements in the middle, making it harder to interfere with the interaction of these species.
Increased cattle numbers in wildlife refuges. Pastoralists have a habit of bringing livestock into wildlife refuges, resulting in animals battling over food and livestock. Due to the paucity of food, some hartebeests have been forced to migrate, making the animals very anxious to locate other tranquil spots to return to. The invasion of animals into the United States Wildlife reserves are allowing vast amounts of grass to grow, which geologists say is a source of youth in certain locations.
WHAT CAN BE DONE IN TANZANIA TO HELP THESE ANIMALS?
Increase the number of wildlife refuges and populations in general. Given the dilemma of wildlife sanctuaries being invaded throughout the country, we need to enlarge these places in order to preserve the habitat of the hartebeest, since it has become obvious that these creatures are now living in extremely small regions as a result of the invasion. Also, some locations that can be examined for ecology and to see if there is a chance for animals to live there should be designated as independent wildlife sanctuaries. Even kangaroos benefit from this. Because not all kangaroos live in designated wildlife sanctuaries, those who live outside of National Parks must be adequately safeguarded. As a result, by saying that these sites continue to speed up the reproduction of these animals, the populations will return to where they were previously.
Increase the number of wildlife officers on the ground and engage the public in the problem of wildlife conservation as a whole. This, I believe, is the most important foundation for bolstering the subject of environmental protection and conservation in general. The community must be involved since these individuals are excellent ambassadors for exposing poachers, as most of the poachers we encounter reside in our neighborhoods. Increased patrol forces were also utilized in wildlife reserves, and poaching rates were reduced. our nation Participating in the community also means sharing the benefits that come from collecting these reserves, since this allows people to realize the value of wildlife reserves and to become more involved in their conservation. Every citizen acting as a good ambassador by hiding where the poachers are, then searching diligently for persons who use our resources for their own personal advancement.
To address the problem of cattle being introduced into wildlife refuges. We've seen that livestock is a major issue for kongoni, owing to the occurrence of food competitions involving these animals. Pastoralist communities living near wildlife reserves should be adequately educated on this topic, so that the problem of total cattle eradication does not arise. in protected areas for animals I believe there is food in a lot of places that hasn't been touched and has enough for cattle. To avoid conservation in wildlife reserves, the government should make every effort to provide for pastoralists in the region. If possible, severe conservation and environmental laws should be enforced against pastoralists who break the rules by ruining the environment for wildlife and reaping the benefits, which is a loss to the country as a whole. The relevant Minister should ensure that he assists in the early resolution of this problem, as it has become a chronic issue in this country as a result of every minister in charge of natural resources failing to fix the matter until it is resolved.
Fighting for environmental resources and water sources is also a major issue for these animals, as we have seen that they prefer to drink water on a regular basis now if water is scarce, despite the fact that their ability to tolerate it will still be a major issue, as they will simply die at the end of these days.
Many water sources in the country have been seriously harmed; one such example is the Great Ruaha River, which is particularly essential for animals residing in Ruaha National Park and has been drying up often in recent years due to requests. Hippopotamuses and crocodiles, for example, were forced to live in misery on the reserve as a result of this scenario.
CONCLUSION
No one will be able to appreciate what you've done. If you don't value it, it won't be yours. Kongoni are animals that bring in a lot of money for the country, mainly through tourism. Some individuals travel to Tanzania solely to see him in a hartebeest and then come home. The numerous obstacles that these and other creatures face should serve as a lesson to all of us, so that each of us may work with the appropriate authorities in terms of wildlife conservation and the environment in general for the sake of our nation.
According to studies, among endangered species (i.e., animals with four intestines), including the hartebeest, the hartebeest is Africa's most endangered species. We may completely miss these animals if we are not vigilant. as the rate of deterioration has accelerated.
I'd want to congratulate the authorities for their serious efforts to safeguard these animals' lives, making Tanzania one of the few places in the world where we can be proud of having so many animal species and a wonderful tourist environment in which to witness them. Congratulations to TANAPA, TAWA, and NCAA for all the hard effort you've put in simply to get these creatures back into safe and appealing environments. .... Thanks….
