The Bangweulu tsessebe (Damaliscus lunatus superstes) is a subspecies of antelope found in northeastern Zambia.[3] The tsessebes in northeastern Zambia in the southern Bangweulu Flats are classified by Naturalist F. Cotterill as a new species based on differences in pelage and cranial morphology.[1]
