WATERBUCKS AND KOBS 
Africa, are precisely similar in their habits and mode of life, and no one, 
I think, could tell by looking at any particular skull and horns of a 
waterbuck whether the animal they belonged to was killed in Abyssinia 
or South Africa. It appeared to me, however, that the defassa waterbucks 
I met with on the Gwas N’gishu Plateau, in British East Africa, were of 
a fiercer and more aggressive disposition when wounded than any of their 
congeners I had ever met with before.
