Bushbuck

   
 

Excerpt(s) from the book Namibian Wildlife - an alternative guide for the traveller on safari.

 
  "Bushbuck are masters of camouflage. They retire to thickets, but also bed down at night in the open where they seem relatively invisible to predators. Lions have been seen walking within 10 meters of a bushbuck that is hiding this way."

"The top right of Namibia borders the Okavango swamps. Namibia has its own, fairly unknown swamps that form part of this watery world. In them you find the red lechwe, reedbuck, bushbuck, puku, waterbuck and the sitatunga, all water loving antelopes. Sitatunga inhabit the deepest sections of the swamps and have special hooves to enable them to travel in this watery world. As the land gets drier you will encounter red lechwe, reedbuck and puku, then waterbuck and bushbuck."
