Got an itch, itch, itch
The eastern mountain bongo, Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus, is a herbivorous, mostly nocturnal forest ungulate and among the largest of the African forest antelope species.
Bongos are the only Tragelaphid in which both sexes have horns.
This one is of course you can tell is a female.
Like all other horns of antelopes, the core of a bongo's horn is hollow and the outer layer of the horn is made of keratin, the same material that makes up human fingernails, toenails and hair.
Males, called bulls, tend to be solitary while females with young live in groups of 6 to 8.
The preferred habitat of this species is so dense and difficult to operate in that few Europeans or Americans observed this species until the 1960s.
Current animals living in captivity derive solely from Kenyan importations made during the period 1969–1978.
