Bongo on Mau escarpment on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. 
Bongo would rather go under than jump. 
In West Africa they appear somewhat in small bands. Apparently, 
in Kenya there is more soladary. 
It has been reported by some that they will eat bark; other 
say, no. It 1s also reported that- they are suppose to eat 
rottening wood from fallen trees. 
Aparently, bongo are browsers. 
There is a Hynax in that area. Subspecies on Mt. Kenya which is 
long haired. 
In Telki Valley on Mt. Kenha the Black Fronted Duiker is reported 
to live high in the mountain and takes the cold well. Also the 
Red or Natal is cold adapted (from Southern Africa).. 
The Blue Duiker lives in the Kakamega Forest of Western Kenya. 
Duff MacKay in the Nairobi Museum has worked in Mt. Kenya area.
