Bongo Tragelaphus eurycerus

The Bongo is a forest antelope from jungles of West and Central Africa and from Kenya. It has twisted horns and a rich red coat with narrow, white, vertical stripes.

The Bongo is Africa's largest forest antelope, reaching some 1.1-1.3 metres (c.4 ft) at the shoulder. Both male and female have horns, the male's usually larger.

Eastern and Western Bongos have slightly different coat markings and colour intensity. Shown here is the Eastern or Mountain Bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) with its richer red coat.
