Animal Description:

The mountain reedbuck is an antelope found in mountainous areas of much of sub-Saharan Africa. The mountain reedbuck averages 30 inches at the shoulder, and weighs around 66 pounds. It has a grey coat with a white underbelly and reddish-brown head and shoulders. The male has ridged horns which are typically 6 inches long and curve forward. Both sexes have a dark scent patch beneath the ears.

Mountain reedbucks are predominantly grazers and tend to feed in the early evening and morning hours, normally in small groups of six or fewer animals. A typical group is made up of one adult male and several adult females and juveniles.
