The Lechwe Waterbuck, also called the Red or Southern Lechwe or just Lechwe, is native to southern Africa. Waterbucks are African water-/marsh-loving antelopes. An oily secretion waterproofs their legs. They generally live in large, single-sex herds. There are three subspecies. Shown above left is the male and above right is the female of the nominal Red Lechwe subspecies.

The male Lechwe has large, upward-curved horns. In addition to three living subspecies, another two are recently extinct; the extinctions are mainly due to hunting for "sport" and horns.
