REEDBUCK nes 
name implies, the Reedbuck is extremely fond of the covert afforded by 
the dense reed-beds of the river systems of the interior. The male 
stands about 3 feet high at the shoulder. These antelopes run in 
small families, and are not precarious. Their shrill whistle, raised when 
excited or alarmed, is not readily forgotten. They afford excellent and 
not difficult shooting, but the flesh is, as with all the waterbucks, 
extremely poor. 
Distribution—Central South Africa, and wherever there are open, grassy, 
or reedy valleys intersected by a stream of water; or large reed 
valleys.
