The bushbucks, or harnessed antelopes, form an extensive group of 
species nearly allied to the kudus, but usually displaying great sexual 
differences in the colour of the coat, and generally having a simpler 
spiral to the horns. The does are nearly always striped with white 
on a chestnut ground, but the bucks may be darker and more 
uniformly coloured. As in the kudus, the females are hornless. The 
true bushbuck is the smallest and at the same time the most widely 
spread member of the group, having many local races. The height 
at the shoulder ranges from 24 to 3 feet, and the weight from 100 lbs. 
to 170 lbs. Bucks have a crest of long hair, which may be white and 
X
