The Bush Buck 
T 
(HIS bush buck is, like his cousins, 
the kudu and the guib, a handsome 
X animal. He lives in deep forests, or 
lkYl ' m a bhiek belt trees by some stream, but 
Hyp always near the water. According to the 
kind he belongs to, he may be chestnut in 
color, or bluish gray, or grayish brown, or 
quite reddish, but always with more or less 
of the white markings. He is usually less

The Kon-zi 
I F you take your geography and look upon the 
map of Africa for the Zam-be-si River and 
Lake Ny-a-sa, you will then find the place 
where the kon-zi lives. Perhaps he does not look 
so very different from some other animals, but if 
you look sharply at his horns, you will see that 
they are small and that, after spreading as they go 
up a ways, they come in together again. This is 
very unusual in horned animals. He is black in 
color with the under parts yellowish. He lives in 
well-wooded glades. His face looks strange and 
grave, for it has no distinct markings. 
The Le-chee An-te-lope 
T HESE are the an-te-lopes that dwell in swamps. Sometimes they 
stand up to their necks in water, and do not seem to mind it in the 
least. If they are pursued, even though the water is almost over 
their heads, they will leap and bound along, 
making a great splashing, instead of swim¬ 
ming. When, of course, the water is so deep 
that they can no longer find footing, they 
swim. They are black in color with some 
white. These are one of the kinds of animals 
discovered by David Livingstone, the great 
missionary to Africa, who brought back 
much new knowledge of that strange place.
