This representative of the bushbuck group is a large, delicately built 
species, standing about 3 feet 6 inches at the shoulder. Weight about 
250 to 300 lbs. In both sexes the hair is very long and coarse, 
but in the male the colour is dark greyish brown with a small number 
of indistinct white stripes, while in the female it is bright reddish 
chestnut with more numerous and clearly defined stripes. The males 
have a fringe of long hair on the throat and the under-parts of the 
body, and a white crest along the back. The lower part of the legs is 
tan, and the hoofs are short. 
Distribution.—South-East Africa, including Zululand, Delagoa Bay, and 
Nyasaland ; on the West Coast it has been reported from Angola, 
although this form may indicate a distinct local race.
