Waterbuck

Waterbuck are large African antelope native to savannas, grasslands, floodplains, and river systems across sub-Saharan Africa. Mature males can weigh 440–660 pounds, while females are typically smaller at about 350–460 pounds; shoulder height is around 47–54 inches. Males carry long forward-curving horns; females are hornless. Their coarse gray-brown to reddish coat, shaggy neck, and white rump markings help distinguish them from other large antelope. Waterbuck are water-associated grazers and often use water and thick cover for predator avoidance. U.S. introduction occurred through zoos, safari parks, and exotic ranches during the mid-to-late 20th century. (Animal Diversity Web)
