Female Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus)
Sabi Sabi Game Reserve
South Africa
This beautiful bushbuck female was found behind my lodging in South Africa. She was accompanied by a male and another female.
Bushbucks are the most widespread antelope in Sub-Saharan Africa. Bushbuck are found in rain forests, montane forests, forest-savanna mosaics, and bush savanna forest and woodland.
They live from the Cape in South Africa to Angola and Zambia and up the eastern part of Africa to Ethiopia and Somalia. Bushbuck stand about 90 centimetres (35 in) at the shoulder and weigh from 45 to 80 kilograms (99 to 176 lb) (depending on sex).
Bushbuck mainly browse but supplement their diet with any other plant matter that they can reach. Bushbuck are active around 24 hours a day, but tend to be nocturnal near human habitations. Bushbuck tend to be solitary, though some live in pairs.
The mature males go out of their way to stay away from each other. Usually, bushbuck are most active during early morning and part of the night, therefore are almost entirely nocturnal in areas where they are unlikely to be disturbed. – Wikipedia
