Description

The Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) is a highly adaptable antelope species found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, known for its shy behavior and preference for dense cover near water sources. Males, like the one displayed here, feature distinct spiral horns and a powerful, compact body.

This full mount captures the animal in mid-gallop, posed on a realistic rock base. It highlights the Bushbuck’s natural agility and alert posture, ideal for natural history displays, African diorama scenes, or wildlife-inspired interiors.

Bushbuck are herbivorous browsers, feeding on leaves, shoots, fruit, and low-growing vegetation. They thrive in forests, riverine thickets, and savanna edges, and are most active during early morning and evening.
