About the Mountain Reedbuck
A medium-sized antelope adapted to rocky hills, mountainous grasslands and steep terrain. The Mountain Reedbuck has a grey-brown coat, white underparts and a distinctive bushy tail with a white underside. It is primarily a grazer and is usually found singly, in pairs or in small groups, often remaining close to rocky slopes where it can escape predators. It is listed as Endangered, and its numbers are declining because of hunting pressure and habitat loss.
