Bushbuck Harnessed | Non-dangerous

The Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) is an antelope that is found in forest and woodland throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Also called 'bush antelope", this is used occasionally for any relativers with which it shares its habitat.Bushbuck live in habitat including rain forests, montane forests, forest-savanna mosaics and bush savannas. Bushbuck stand about centimetres at the shoulder and weigh from to kilograms (depending on sex). Bushbuck have a light brown coat, with up to seven white stripes and white splotches on the sides. The white patches are usually geometrically shaped and on the most mobile parts of their body such as the ears, chin, tail, legs and neck. The muzzle is also white and horns are found only on the males and they can reach over half a metre with only one twist. At months old, young males sprout horns that are particularly twisted and at maturity form the first loop of a spiral.
