bohor reedbuck

The bohor reedbuck (Redunca redunca) is one of three species of medium-sized antelopes belonging to the genus Redunca. These antelopes inhabit the grasslands and marshes of sub-Saharan Africa.12

Key characteristics of the bohor reedbuck include:
* Appearance: They have a yellowish-brown coat, a round glandular spot below each ear, and curved horns that point forward. Males are typically larger than females and have thicker necks and more prominent markings.1
* Habitat: Bohor reedbucks are found in northern African savannas, particularly in suitable habitats and floodplains. They also inhabit montane grasslands and areas with concealing tall herbage near wetlands.1
* Behavior: These antelopes are water-dependent and rely on cover for protection. They are most active at night, grazing in open areas. When alarmed, they emit whistling calls.1
* Social Structure: Bohor reedbucks are polygynous, with males defending territories that encompass several females and their offspring. During the rainy season, they may form temporary herds for mutual security.1

The bohor reedbuck is currently listed as a species of least concern by the IUCN.1
