About the Bushbuck
The bushbuck is a medium-sized antelope of sub-Saharan Africa, commonly associated with woodland, dense bush, riverine vegetation and forest edges. Its coat varies considerably between populations but is generally brown to reddish-brown with variable white markings. Males develop short, spiralled horns and are usually larger and darker than females. Bushbuck are primarily browsers, feeding on leaves, shoots, flowers and other vegetation. They are generally solitary or found in pairs and rely heavily on dense cover for protection.
How to identify the Bushbuck
