Red Hartebeest are one of the fastest runners in Africa, capable of reaching speeds of up to 65 km/h and they are capable of keeping this speed up for a considerable distance, in similar fashion to their cousin, the Tssesebe, the fastest antelope in Africa. Red Hartebeest often post sentries on vantage points such as anthills, to keep a watchful eye for danger. They are grazers and do not take a browse material, and can also go completely without water, gaining all the moisture that they need from the food that they eat.
