Waterbuck |
|
(Cobus ellipsipymnus) |
|
The Waterbuck is a shaggy, coarse-haired animal about four feet (+- 120cm) high at the shoulder and varying in colour from reddish to grey. It is unfailingly identified by the oval white ring on the buttocks, a mark not carried by any other antelope. The male carries good horns, rising well up from the head and curving gently forward towards the tip. The female is hornless. Waterbuck are grass feeders. They are good swimmers too and if hunted by a lion or leopard or wild dogs, they will make for the nearest water. A solitary animal separated from the herd often takes to the river pools as final refuge. |
