Can we update the map showing geographic range?[edit]

There are Roans across Namibia. Any chance we can update the map displaying the geographic range? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumbassman (talk • contribs) 19:54, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) is a species of savanna antelope found in western, central and southern Africa. Named for its reddish-brown coat, it has a black face with white patches around the eyes and the mouth, and a short erect mane of greyish brown hair extending from the back of the neck to the rump. This roan antelope, of the subspecies H. e. koba, was photographed in Senegal; the subspecies's range extends from Senegal to Benin in western Africa.
