The korrigum (Damaliscus lunatus korrigum), also known as Senegal hartebeest, is a subspecies of the topi, a large African antelope.

==Taxonomy== An 1822–1824 British expedition across the Sahara to the ancient kingdom of Bornu, returned with single set of horns of an antelope known in the language of that land as a korrigum. These horns were classified as a new species by William Ogilby in an article in the journal Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London dated 1836, but published in 1837.
