208 RECORDS OF BIG GAME 
The general colour is rufous, or foxy red, of a lighter tint than in the 
Uganda kob. 
Seldom found very far from water, this antelope is most abundant 
in the lagoons and swamps created by the annual rising of the Upper 
Zambesi, the Botletli, Chobi, Tamulakan, and other rivers of the interior, 
in localities where the surrounding flats are inundated for some part of 
the year. The lechwi seldom ventures into the deep rivers from fear of 
the crocodiles, but among the reed-beds, the shallow lagoons, and 
flooded flats it is a familiar animal. It is often to be found, in the less 
accessible regions, in vast herds. An excellent swimmer, it can progress 
by a succession of splashing bounds at great speed through the lagoons 
and shallows. It is extremely tenacious of life. 
Distribution.—Zambesia and Barotsiland.
