Bushbuck Ewe

Wild South Africa
Kruger National Park

The Bushbuck is a close relative of the Kudu and the Nyala. The rams are very elegant in appearance, sporting dark greyish-brown fur, with white spots on the flanks and prominent white socks. Ewes are smaller and adult ewes are lighter in colour than rams, with more pronounced white spots and stripes.

The shy and elusive bushbuck is usually most active during early morning and part of the night and will become almost entirely nocturnal in areas where they are apt to be disturbed frequently during the day.

Even though Baboons sometimes eat the young, Bushbucks tend to associate closely with them at times, picking up fallen fruit and other foods that foraging Baboons drop.
