Redunca redunca
Reedbucks are graceful antelopes found in the grasslands of Africa. They have distinctive forward-curving horns and a reddish-brown coat that helps them blend into tall grasses.
Habitat: Grasslands
The Reedbuck has a shaggy, grey-brown coat with a white belly and a distinct white stripe above its eyes. Males sport short, ridged, forward-curving horns, and both sexes feature large, round ears that help distinguish them from other antelopes.
