Bongo (antelope) - Wikipedia

Bongo (antelope) The bongo ( Tragelaphus eurycerus) is a large, mostly nocturnal, forest -dwelling antelope, native to sub-Saharan Africa. Bongos are characterised by a striking reddish-brown coat, black and white markings, white-yellow stripes, and long slightly spiralled horns

“Fite me” Another coloured antelope sketch, this time a bongo - also a big favourite. This handsome fellow is of the eastern, or mountain kind. I love how males of this subspecies darken with age until they’re almost half black (when young they're even brown underneath their stripes, like the ladies). Females on the other hand may actually lighten overtime.

The mountain bongo is a critically endangered subspecies of the bongo, one of the largest forest antelopes, with a reddish-brown coat, with black, white and yellow-white markings. Both males and females have long, slightly spiralled horns. Bongos are rarely seen in large herds.

Mountain bongo are a relict of interglacial epochs when rainforest extended to the Indian Ocean; it occurs in pockets of protected mountain forest between 2,000 and 3,000 metres (7,000 and 10,000 feet) above sea level in the Kenya highlands. 

These are such beautiful animals
