In this handsome antelope the horns are longer than in its allies, 
considerably exceeding twice the length of the head, while the front 
of the fore-legs is black, and the hair long. Height at shoulder, 40 or 
41 inches. 
Like the puku, this kob was discovered by Livingstone and his 
companions Oswell and Murray during their journey to Lake Ngami 
in 1849. In point of size it approximates to the true waterbucks, 
from which, however, in addition to the features already mentioned, it 
may always be distinguished by its lighter and more graceful build.
